Scientific Opportunities
Co-Evolution of Galaxies and Central Black Holes (G. Hasinger)
­ importance of black hole formation and growth in galaxy formation/evolution should be amplified ­ future X-ray, radio continuum facilities will provide samples of very early black holes (order 106 Mo ) to trace co-evolution ­ broadened Fe K line detectable to z>6 ­ emphasize the value of resolving the cosmic backgrounds for understanding early evolution

Scientific Opportunities
The starburst/AGN connection via IR spectroscopy, imaging (L. Spignolio)
­ Future far-infrared interferometer will resolve dusty nuclei from circumnuclear disks at high redshift ­ Large-aperture (>10m) IR telescope enables Spitzerquality spectroscopy of nuclei at high redshift ­ Key scientific need is 10-20m aperture far-infrared telescope and/or interferometer (ground or space, discussed later)

Scientific Opportunities
Evolution of the Cosmic Web
(V. D'Odorico, W. Hermsen) ­ visible/infrared absorption line spectroscopy of paired/multiple sightlines
arcsecond separations possible with ELT trace correlation of metallicity and structure

­ OVI and OVII gas can be traced in emission to map warm/hot phase at low redshift

Scientific Opportunities
Dark Matter and Dynamics of Nearby Galaxies (G. Gilmore, F. Hammer)
­ ELT multiplex spectroscopy of individual stars, clusters will allow mapping of dark halo structures to Virgo cluster ­ studies of emission-line, CO, and HI kinematics of galaxies valuable even for z < 2

Scientific Opportunities
(J. Braine, B. Brandl, F. Hammer, F. Boulanger)

Properties and Physics of Star Formation, ISM, IMF in Nearby Galaxies
­ new facilities such as ALMA, SKA, ELT, etc will provide breakthrough capabilities in studying star formation in nearby galaxies on the scale of individual clusters/starbursts ­ a comprehensive suite of diagnostic features will be accessible (HI, 12CO, 13CO, C+, O0, N+, PAH, H2, HI, PDR lines, H...) ­ Key goal is to calibrate accurate diagnostics (e.g., of H2 column density) ­ coordinated samples, probing range of metallicity, interstellar pressure

Scientific Opportunities
Magnetic Fields (R.
Beck)

­ play a key role across range of problems in this
chapter ­ low-frequency radio telescopes (LOFAR) offer especially powerful promise for measuring fields via polarization, Faraday rotation ­ roadmapping might include feasibility assessment for key experiments (e.g., measurement of intergalactic fields)

Scientific Opportunities
Stellar Physics from Galactic/Extragalactic Studies (A. Korn, P. Groot) ­ data offer important inputs for testing stellar models ­ understanding of binary populations vs metallicity, etc important for understanding SN projenitors, X-ray binaries and IMBHs, and LISA foregrounds ­ full exploitation of Gaia will require a major program of multiplex stellar spectroscopy, perhaps with dedicated 4-8m telescope(s), in advance of mission completion

Facility Recommendations
UV-Optimized 4-8m Space Telescope
­ strong support voiced in parallel session

Large Infrared Telescope
­ draft recommendation for cold 4-8m space telescope should be revised
biggest science gains in this area will come with larger aperture (10-20m) roadmap should address relative cost/benefit merits of aperture, and ground (South Pole?) vs space telescope, and cooling requirements, in context of current/planned facilities (JWST, APEX, CCAT, ALMA, etc) infrared interferometer remains a long-range priority, but also evaluate merits of ground vs space

Facility Recommendations
Survey Telescopes
­ ­ (I. Eglitis, others) many survey facilities contemplated (X-rays, OVII/OVIII, H2, groundbased wide-field synoptic, spectroscopic telescopes) key area of need identified for highly multiplexed spectroscopy in visible and/or near-infrared, with wide-field 4-8m telescope(s) some programs rely on planned US survey telescopes (PanStars, LSST)
