Extreme Galaxies During Reionization: Testing ISM and Disk Models
  We test the ability of equilibrium galactic disk and one-zone interstellar
medium models to describe the physical and emission properties of quasar hosts,
submillimeter galaxies, and Lyman-alpha emitters at z>~6. The size, line
widths, star formation rates, black hole accretion rates, gas masses and
temperatures, and the relationships between these properties are all
well-described by our model, and we provide approximate fitting formulae for
comparison with future observations. However, comparing our carbon line
predictions to observations reveals differences between the ISM at low and high
redshifts. Our underestimate of the [CII] line emission indicates either higher
star formation efficiencies in high-redshift molecular clouds or less depletion
of metals into dust at fixed metallicity. Further, our over-prediction of the
CO(6-5)/CO(1-0) ratio suggests that molecular clouds in real high-redshift
galaxies have a lower turbulent Mach number and more subthermal CO(6-5)
emission than expected owing either to sizes smaller than the local Jeans mass
or to a pressure support mechanism other than turbulence.
