Observing Cold Gas in Submillimeter Galaxies: Detection of CO(1-0) Emission in SMM J13120+4242 with the Green Bank Telescope
(2006-10-20)
We report the first detection of CO(1-0) emission from a submillimeter-selected galaxy, using the Green Bank Telescope. We identify the line in the spectrum of SMM J13120+4242 as a broad emission feature at z=3.408, with ...
AzTEC Half Square Degree Survey of the SHADES Fields -- I. Maps, Catalogues, and Source Counts
(2009-07-06)
We present the first results from the largest deep extragalactic millimetre-wavelength survey undertaken to date. These results are derived from maps covering over 0.7 deg^2, made at 1.1mm, using the AzTEC continuum camera ...
Molecular Gas in Submillimetre-Faint, Star-Forming Ultraluminous Galaxies at z>1
(2009-10-30)
[abridged] We present interferometric CO observations of twelve z~2 submillimetre-faint, star-forming radio galaxies (SFRGs) which are thought to be ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) possibly dominated by warmer ...
A LABOCA survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South - submillimeter properties of near-IR selected galaxies
(2009-03-31)
Using the 330hr ESO-MPG 870-micron survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDF-S) obtained with the Large Apex BOlometer CAmera (LABOCA) on the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX), we have carried out a stacking ...
SHARC-2 350 Micron Observations of Distant Submillimeter Selected Galaxies
(2006-10-20)
We present 350 micron observations of 15 Chapman et al. submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) with radio counterparts and optical redshifts. We detect 12 and obtain sensitive upper limits for three, providing direct, precise ...
A Search for Neutral Carbon towards two z=4.05 Submillimetre Galaxies, GN20 and GN20.2
(2009-08-26)
Using the IRAM Plateau-de-Bure Interferometer (PdBI) we have searched for the upper fine structure line of neutral carbon (CI(2->1), nu_rest = 809 GHz) and 12CO(J=7->6) (nu_rest=806GHz) towards the submillimetre galaxies ...
Weighing the Black Holes in z~2 Submillimeter-Emitting Galaxies Hosting Active Galactic Nuclei
(2008-05-01)
We place direct observational constraints on the black-hole masses of the cosmologically important z~2 submillimeter-emitting galaxy (SMG; f850>4mJy) population, and use measured host-galaxy masses to explore their ...
AzTEC half square degree survey of the SHADES fields - II. Identifications, redshifts, and evidence for large-scale structure
(2012-05-10)
The AzTEC 1.1 mm survey of the SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) fields is the largest (0.7 deg2) blank-field millimetre-wavelength survey undertaken to date at a resolution of ~18" and a depth of ~1 mJy. We ...
High-resolution Millimeter Imaging of Submillimeter Galaxies
(2006-03-20)
We present sub-arcsecond resolution IRAM PdBI interferometry of eight submillimeter galaxies at redshifts from 2 to 3.4, where we detect continuum at 1mm and/or CO lines at 3 and 1 mm. The CO 3-2/4-3 line profiles in five ...
Submillimeter Galaxies at z 2: Evidence for Major Mergers & Constraints on Lifetimes, IMF and CO-H2 Conversion Factor
(2008-06-10)
We report sub-arcsecond resolution IRAM PdBI millimeter CO interferometry of four z~2 submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), and sensitive CO (3-2) flux limits toward three z 2 UV-/optically selected star forming galaxies. The new ...
