1. The document discusses semi-analytic modeling of galaxy formation using the GALFORM model.
2. It describes how the model tracks processes like gas cooling, star formation, feedback, black hole growth, and galaxy mergers.
3. The model is used to make predictions about far-IR galaxy populations, submillimeter galaxies, dust emission, and number counts that can be compared to observations.

8. Need for “Complicated” Models? Mass to light ratio Total group luminosity Variation of M/L with total group luminosity shows how the efficiency of galaxy formation should depend on halo mass.

11. The Challenge of (sub-)mm Galaxies *Population of sources missed by Lyman-break dropout & UV imaging *Possibly more star formation at high redshift than previously thought *Inferred SFRs huge ~ 1000 Msun/yr! *Is all emission due to starburst or is some from an AGN? *Is a SCUBA source an elliptical galaxy in formation? *Massive galaxies in place at high-z? How can SCUBA sources be accommodated in hierarchical models? Creation of the Far-IR Populations SPICA Workshop, November 2006
12. Modeling Dust Extinction & Emission *Naïve model: assume dust temperature *Physically inconsistent! *Dust temperature should be determined by thermal equilibrium between heating and cooling of grains *With the bolometric luminosity and dust mass as parameters, and with the dust in thermal equilibrium, Which gives : Creation of the Far-IR Populations SPICA Workshop, November 2006
