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 ...
Herschel-SPIRE, Far-Infrared Properties of Millimetre-Bright and -Faint Radio Galaxies
(2010-09-15)
(abridged) We present the first study of the farIR properties of high redshift, radio-selected ULIRGs using deep observations obtained with SPIRE from the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES). These galaxies ...
The Hubble Space Telescope GOODS NICMOS Survey: Overview and the Evolution of Massive Galaxies at 1.5 < z < 3
(2010-10-06)
We present the details and early results from a deep near-infrared survey utilising the NICMOS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope centred around massive M_* > 10^11 M_0 galaxies at 1.7 10^11 M_0, whereby we find an ...
The Stellar Mass Content of Submillimeter-Selected Galaxies
(2010-06-01)
We present a new study of the stellar mass in a sample of ~ 70 submillimeter-selected galaxies (SMGs) with accurate spectroscopic redshifts. We fit combinations of stellar population synthesis models and power laws to the ...
The LABOCA survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South: A photometric redshift survey of submillimetre galaxies
(2010-06-10)
[abridged] We derive photometric redshifts from 17-band optical to mid-IR photometry of 74 robust counterparts to 68 of the 126 submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) selected at 870um by LABOCA observations in the ECDFS. The median ...
The LABOCA survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South - radio and mid-infrared counterparts to submillimetre galaxies
(2010-12-01)
We present radio and infrared (3.6-24um) counterparts to submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) detected in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South with the LABOCA 870-um bolometer camera on the 12-m Atacama Pathfinder Experiment. ...
The kinematic identification of a thick stellar disc in M31
(2010-10-25)
We present the first characterization of a thick disc component in the Andromeda galaxy (M31) using kinematic data from the DEIMOS multi-object spectrograph instrument on Keck II. Using 21 fields in the South West of the ...
Most Submillimetre Galaxies are Major Mergers
(2010-09-13)
We analyse subarcsecond resolution interferometric CO line data for twelve sub-millimetre-luminous (S850um > 5mJy) galaxies with redshifts between 1 and 3, presenting new data for four of them. Morphologically and kinematically ...
