Understanding the nature of the optically faint radio sources and their connection to the submillimeter population
(2002-05-10)
We present a sample of 43 submillimeter sources detected (at >3 sigma), drawn from our program to follow-up optically faint radio sources with SCUBA. These sources already have associated radio and in many cases optical ...
An upper limit to [C II] emission in a z ~= 5 galaxy
(2005-05-01)
Low-ionization-state far-infrared (FIR) emission lines may be useful diagnostics of star-formation activity in young galaxies, and at high redshift may be detectable from the ground. In practice, however, very little is ...
Using SCUBA to place upper limits on arcsecond scale CMB anisotropies at 850 microns
(1999-09-19)
The SCUBA instrument on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope has already had an impact on cosmology by detecting relatively large numbers of dusty galaxies at high redshift. Apart from identifying well-detected sources, such ...
First detections of FIRBACK sources with SCUBA
(1999-10-22)
The FIRBACK (Far InfraRed BACKground) survey represents the deepest extensive 170 micron images obtained by the ISO satellite. The sources detected comprise about 10% of the Cosmic IR Background (CIB) seen by COBE, and, ...
B1933+503, a dusty radio quasar at z>2: implications for blank field sub-mm surveys?
(1998-10-27)
We present a detailed mm-wave and optical study of the gravitational lens system B1933+503, discovered by Sykes et al.(1998) in the radio. This object is probably the most complex lens system known, with 10 lensed components ...
Submillimetre sources in rich cluster fields - source counts, redshift estimates, and cooling flow limits
(2002-02-11)
Recent submillimetre surveys have revealed a population of dusty, high redshift sources of great cosmological significance for understanding dust-enshrouded star formation in distant galaxies, and for determining the origin ...
A search for the submillimetre counterparts to Lyman break galaxies
(2002-04-04)
We have carried out targetted sub-mm observations as part of a programme to explore the connection between the rest-frame UV and far-IR properties of star-forming galaxies at high redshift, which is currently poorly ...
A joint analysis of BLAST 250--500um and LABOCA 870um observations in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South
(2011-02-11)
We present a joint analysis of the overlapping BLAST 250, 350, 500um, and LABOCA 870um observations (from the LESS survey) of the ECDF-S. Out to z~3, the BLAST filters sample near the peak wavelength of far-infrared (FIR) ...
