ALMA observations of the dust continuum in 700 galaxies at z = 0.3–4.5 indicate that increases in star formation at high z are due to both increased ISM masses and increased gas-to-star conversion efficiency.

Inclined water maser disks can be identified by searching for narrow masers near the systemic velocity that appear to emit from the position of the central black hole that they orbit.
