Star Formation at High Redshift

Abstract

The observations relevant to star formation at high redshift are reviewed including radio galaxies, quasars, IRAS objects, and QSO emission and absorption line regions. Low redshift counterparts associated with starburst galaxies are discussed. The relation of galaxy formation, starbursts, and active galaxies and quasars is briefly reviewed. The role of feedback in galaxy formation and massive star formation is briefly analysed.
