ALPINE

ALMA Large Program to INvestigate [CII] at Early times (ALPINE) The ALMA Large Program to Investigate C+ at Early Times (ALPINE) is a 70 hour survey to measure the gas and dust properties for a large sample of galaxies in the early Universe to understand their formation and evolution in a phase of rapid growth. The survey targets 118 typical (main-sequence) galaxies at redshifts z=4-6 when the Universe was 1/10th of its current age and builds upon the exquisite multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopic data available on the COSMOS and GOODS-South fields. The main goals of ALPINE include to (i) quantify the amount of obscured star formation; (ii) measure the relation between carbon emission and star formation; (iii) study the dust and gas distribution and content; and (iv) characterise the gas kinematics and contribution of mergers to the growth of the galaxies.
