  • A Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS and ACS Morphological Study of z~2 Submillimetre Galaxies 

    Swinbank, Mark; Smail, Ian; Chapman, Scott; Borys, Colin; Alexander, Dave; Blain, Andrew; Conselice, Chris; Hainline, Laura; Ivison, Rob (2010-02-12)
    We present a quantitative morphological analysis using HST NICMOS H160- and ACS I775- band imaging of 25 spectroscopically confirmed submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) which have redshifts between z=0.7-3.4. Our analysis also ...

  • The Link between Submillimetre Galaxies and Luminous Ellipticals: Near-Infrared IFU Spectroscopy of Submillimetre Galaxies 

    Swinbank, Mark; Chapman,; Scott; Smail, Ian; Lindner, Chris; Borys, Colin; Blain, Andrew; Ivison, Rob; Lewis, Geraint (2006-06-15)
    We present two-dimensional spectroscopy covering the rest-frame wavelengths of strong optical emission lines in six luminous submillimetre galaxies at z=1.3--2.5. Together with HST ACS and NICMOS imaging we map the dynamics ...

  • Optical and Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectroscopy of the SCUBA Galaxy N2-850.4 

    Swinbank, Mark; Smail, Ian; Bower, Richard; Borys, Colin; Chapman, Scott; Blain, Andrew; Ivison, Rob; Ramsay-Howat, Suzie; Keel, William; Bunker, Andrew (2005-05-11)
    We present optical and near-infrared integral field spectroscopy of the SCUBA galaxy SMM J163650.43+405734.5 (ELAIS N2 850.4) at z=2.385. We combine Ly-alpha and H-alpha emission line maps and velocity structure with high ...

  • The Properties of Sub-mm Galaxies in Hierarchical Models 

    Swinbank, Mark; Lacey, Cedric; Smail, Ian; Baugh, Carlton; Frenk, Carlos; Blain, Andrew; Chapman, Scott; Coppin, Kristen; Ivison, Rob; Hainline, Laura; Gonzalez, Juan (2008-09-05)
    We use the combined GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation and GRASIL spectrophotometric code to investigate the properties of galaxies selected via their sub-mm emission. Our fiducial model has previously been ...

  • Rest-frame optical and far-infrared observations of extremely bright Lyman-break galaxy candidates at z ~ 2.5 

    Ivison, Rob; Smail, Ian; Bentz, Misty; Stevens, Jason; Menendez-Delmestre, Karin; Chapman, Scott; Blain, Andrew (2005-09)
    We have investigated the rest-frame optical and far-infrared properties of a sample of extremely bright candidate Lyman-break galaxies (LBG) identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Their high ultraviolet luminosities ...

  • The Rest-frame Optical Spectra of SCUBA Galaxies 

    Swinbank, Mark; Smail, Ian; Chapman, Scott; Blain, Andrew; Ivison, Rob; Keel, William (2004-11-20)
    We present near-infrared spectroscopy and narrow-band imaging at the wavelength of redshifted H-alpha for a sample of 30 high-redshift, far-infrared luminous galaxies. This sample is selected from surveys in the sub-millimeter, ...

  • Restframe Optical Spectroscopic Classifications for Submillimeter Galaxies 

    Takata, Tadafumi; Sekiguchi, Kazuhiro; Smail, Ian; Chapman, Scott C.; Geach, J. E.; Swinbank, A. M.; Blain, Andrew; Ivison, R. J. (2006-11-10)
    We report the results of a systematic near-infrared spectroscopic survey using the Subaru, VLT and Keck Telescopes of a sample of high redshift Ultra-luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) mainly composed of submillimeter-selected ...

  • The SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) -- VI. 350 micron mapping of submillimetre galaxies 

    Coppin, Kristen; Halpern, Mark; Scott, Douglas; Borys, Colin; Dunlop, James; Dunne, Loretta; Ivison, Rob; Wagg, Jeff; Aretxaga, Itziar; Battistelli, Elia; Benson, Andrew; Blain, Andrew; Chapman, Scott; Clements, Dave; Dye, Simon; Farrah, Duncan; Hughes, David; Jenness, Tim; van Kampen, Eelco; Lacey, Cedric; Mortier, Angela; Pope, Alexandra; Priddey, Robert; Serjeant, Stephen; Smail, Ian; Stevens, Jason; Vaccari, Mattia (2008-03)
    A follow-up survey using the Submillimetre High-Angular Resolution Camera (SHARC-II) at 350 microns has been carried out to map the regions around several 850 micron-selected sources from the Submillimetre HAlf Degree ...
