Accurate Spectral energy distributions and selection effects for high-redshift dusty galaxies: a new hot population to discover with the Spitzer Space Telescope?
Blain, Andrew W.; Chapman, Scott C.; Smail, Ian; Ivison, Rob (2004-08-10)The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of dust-enshrouded galaxies with powerful restframe far-infrared emission have been constrained by a range of ground-based and space-borne surveys. The IRAS catalog provides a ... -
Clustering of Submillimeter-Selected Galaxies
Blain, Andrew W.; Chapman, Scott S.; Smail, Ian; Ivison, Rob (2004-08-20)Using accurate positions from very deep radio observations to guide multi-object Keck spectroscopy, we have determined a substantially complete redshift distribution for very luminous, distant submillimeter(submm)-selected ... -
Mapping the Clumpy Structures within Submillimeter Galaxies using Laser-Guide Star Adaptive Optics Spectroscopy
Menéndez-Delmestre, Karín; Blain, Andrew W.; Swinbank, Mark; Smail, Ian; Ivison, Rob J.; Chapman, Scott C.; Gonçalves, Thiago S. (2013-02-08)We present the first integral-field spectroscopic observations of high-redshift submillimeter-selected galaxies (SMGs) using Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics (LGS-AO). We target H-alpha emission of three SMGs at redshifts ... -
Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of High Redshift Submillimeter Galaxies: First Results
Menéndez-Delmestre, Karín; Blain, Andrew W.; Alexander, Dave M.; Smail, Ian; Armus, Lee; Chapman, Scott C.; Frayer, Dave; Ivison, Rob J.; Teplitz, Harry (2007-02-01)We present mid-infrared spectra of 5 submillimeter galaxies at z=0.65-2.38 taken with the Spitzer Space Telescope. Four of these sources, at z<1.5, have strong PAH features and their composite spectrum is well fitted ... -
Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of Submillimeter Galaxies: Extended Star Formation in Massive High Redshift Galaxies
Menéndez-Delmestre, Karín; Blain, Andrew W.; Smail, Ian; Alexander, Dave M.; Chapman, Scott C.; Armus, Lee; Frayer, Dave; Ivison, Rob J.; Teplitz, Harry (2009-03-24)We used the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) to study the mid-IR properties and investigate the energetics of 24 Submillimeter Galaxies (SMGs). This is the largest sample of SMGs observed with Spitzer IRS and covers the ... -
Submillimetre and far-infrared spectral energy distributions of galaxies: the luminosity-temperature relation and consequences for photometric redshifts
Blain, Andrew W.; Barnard, V. E.; Chapman, Scott C. (2003-01)The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of dusty high-redshift galaxies are poorly sampled in frequency and spatially unresolved. Their form is crucially important for estimating the large luminosities of these galaxies ...
