Toward  an  explana$on  of  the  steep  decline  of  the  star  forma$on  from  z=1  to  z=0?  

•  Most  of  the  ac&ve  star  forming  galaxies  on  the  Main  Sequence:  LIRGs  at  z=1,  ULIRGs  become  important  at  z>=2,  starburst  galaxies  have  minor  role.  

•  Stars  form  from  the  (Molecular)  gas    with  a  rather  constant  efficiency  at  a  given  z  for  MS  galaxies    (SFR/MH2~1/tdep)  

•  The  sSFR  varia&on  is  mainly  contolled  by  the  varia&on  of  the  molecular  gas  frac&on.    

•  The  schema  may  well  not  be  valid  for  MW-­‐like  galaxies  •  The  CO-­‐to-­‐H2  conversion  factor  remains  a  source  of  uncertainty,  possible  measure  of  the  gas  content  with  the  dust  mass
