Energetic galaxy-wide outflows in high-redshift ultra-luminous infrared galaxies hosting AGN activity
(2012-05-08)
We present integral field spectroscopy observations, covering the [O III]4959,5007 emission-line doublet of eight high-redshift (z=1.4-3.4) ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) that host Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) ...
Using [CI] to probe the Interstellar Medium in z~2.5 Sub-Millimeter Galaxies
(2013-07-24)
We present new [CI](1-0) and 12CO(4-3) Plateau de Bure Interferometer observations of five Sub-Millimeter Galaxies (SMGs) and combine these with all available [CI](1-0) literature detections in SMGs to probe the gas ...
Tracing the molecular gas in distant submillimetre galaxies via CO(1-0) imaging with the EVLA
(2010-09-03)
We report the results of a pilot study with the EVLA of 12CO J=1-0 emission from four SMGs at z=2.2-2.5, each with an existing detection of CO J=3-2. Using the EVLA's most compact configuration we detect strong, broad J=1-0 ...
Spectroscopic Characterisation of 250um-Selected Hyper-Luminous Star Forming Galaxies
(2010-09-28)
We present near-infrared spectroscopic observations from VLT ISAAC of thirteen 250\mu m-luminous galaxies in the CDF-S, seven of which have confirmed redshifts which average to = 2.0 \pm 0.4. Another two sources of the 13 ...
Luminous Starbursts in the Redshift Desert at z 1-2: Star Formation Rates, Masses & Evidence for Outflows
(2011-08-01)
We present a spectroscopic catalogue of 40 luminous starburst galaxies at z=0.7--1.7 (median z=1.3). 19 of these are submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) and 21 are submillimetre-faint radio galaxies (SFRGs). This sample helps ...
Physical Conditions of the Gas in an ALMA [CII]-identified Submillimetre Galaxy at z = 4.44
(2013-02-13)
We present CO(2-1) observations of the submillimetre galaxy ALESS65.1 performed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array at 42.3 GHz. A previous ALMA study of submillimetre galaxies in the Extended Chandra Deep Field ...
An ALMA survey of submillimetre galaxies in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South: High resolution 870um source counts
(2013-04-16)
We report the first counts of faint submillimetre galaxies (SMG) in the 870-um band derived from arcsecond resolution observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). We have used ALMA to map a sample of 122 ...
An ALMA survey of Sub-millimetre Galaxies in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South: Detection of [C II] at z=4.4
(2012-09-06)
We present ALMA 870-um (345GHz) observations of two sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs) drawn from an ALMA study of the 126 sub-millimeter sources from the LABOCA Extended Chandra Deep Field South Survey (LESS). The ALMA data ...
Mapping the Clumpy Structures within Submillimeter Galaxies using Laser-Guide Star Adaptive Optics Spectroscopy
(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 ...
An ALMA Survey of Submillimeter Galaxies in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South: The Redshift Distribution and Evolution of Submillimeter Galaxies
(2013-10-23)
We present the first photometric redshift distribution for a large unbiased sample of 870um selected submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) with robust identifications based on observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array ...
