Radio astronomy, broadly interpreted, has made important contributions to the study of galaxy formation and evolution. Maps of the cosmic microwave background provide information on the seeds of large-scale structure, in addition to refined values of the cosmological parameters. Examples of contributions from more conventional radio astronomy include:–The use of radio observations to track star formation rates since they are not affected by dust obscuration as optical/UV observations are, and the use of molecular line observations to make purely “radio” redshift determinations.
