Scientific paper

We discuss Owens Valley Millimeter Array observations and Keck near-infrared wavelength observations of the high-redshift sub-mm population of galaxies. Studies of sub-mm galaxies are vital to our understanding of the formation and early evolution of galaxies since this population could account for a significant fraction of the total amount of star formation and AGN activity at high redshift. The initial CO data suggest that the sub-mm galaxies are analogous to the gas-rich ultraluminous mergers found in the local universe. Since many sub-mm galaxies are highly obscured at observed optical wavelengths, sensitive observations at mm and near-infrared wavelengths are critical for yielding insights into the nature of these systems.
