CONSTRAINING THE DYNAMICAL MASSES OF SPT2349-56: A MASSIVE GALAXY PROTOCLUSTER AT Z ∼ 4.3
(2018-09-21)This study presents an analysis of SPT2349-56, the brightest unlensed source found by the South Pole Telescope during a 2500 deg^2 survey of the sky. Follow-up observations showed that SPT2349-56 is comprised of 14 ... -
A SCUBA-2 survey of high-redshift galaxy protoclusters & The calibration of the JCMT Transient regions
(2017-05-02)Part 1) The brightest high-redshift sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs) represent the rarest and most extreme star-forming events in the Universe and are thought to be the progenitors to some of the most massive local galaxies. ... -
Star Formation Rate Indicators in the FIRE simulations & SPT2349-56: A Massive and Active Proto-cluster Core
(2017-08-17)Part 1) The star formation rate (SFR) is an important diagnostic of the evolutionary stage of the galaxy. The total infrared (IR) luminosity of a galaxy is a commonly used tracer of SFR. A simple radiative transfer model ...
