We present Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) detections of atomic carbon
line and dust continuum emission in two UV-luminous galaxies at redshift 6. The
far-infrared (FIR) luminosities of these galaxies are substantially lower than
similar starbursts at later cosmic epochs, indicating an evolution in the dust
properties with redshift, in agreement with the evolution seen in ultraviolet
(UV) attenuation by dust. The CII to FIR ratios are found to be higher than
at low redshift showing that CII should be readily detectable by ALMA within
the reionization epoch. One of the two galaxies shows a complex merger nature
with the less massive component dominating the UV emission and the more massive
component dominating the FIR line and continuum. Using the interstellar atomic
carbon line to derive the systemic redshifts we investigate the velocity of
Lyman alpha emission emerging from high-z galaxies. In contrast to previous
work, we find no evidence for decreasing Lyman alpha velocity shifts at
high-redshift. We observe an increase in velocity shifts from z~ 2 to z~6,
consistent with the effects of increased IGM absorption.
