Abstract
Cold gas and cosmic dust are the fuel of star formation. ALPINE is an ALMA Large Programme which has built the first statistically representative sample of star-forming galaxies in the adolescent Universe by targeting emission from singly ionised carbon [CII] at 158 µm, which traces both emission from star-forming regions and molecular hydrogen gas clouds, and the thermal continuum from dust at the end of the epoch of reionisation (4.4 < z < 5.9). Observations by the ALPINE team have revealed that a significant fraction of the star formation at this epoch is already hidden by dust clouds. ALPINE observations have also shown how unruly these young galaxies were by finding a large fraction of mergers and ubiquitous gas outflows....
