UV Diagnostics of Galaxies from the Peak of Star-Formation to the Epoch of Reionization
Abstract
We describe prospects facilitated by giant telescopes in the 2020s to use rest-frame UV spectroscopy to study the properties of massive stellar populations and gas (ionization, metallicity, kinematics, outflows) in and around galaxies from the peak of the cosmic star-formation density (z 3) up in to the epoch of reionization (z>6).
