Do submillimeter galaxies really trace the most massive dark matter halos? Discovery of a high-z cluster in a highly active phase of evolution
(2009-01-20)
We present detailed observations of a z~1.99 cluster of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), discovered as the strongest redshift spike in our entire survey of ~100 SMGs across 800 square arcmin. It is the largest blank-field ...
The effect of lensing on the identification of bright SCUBA galaxies
(2002-09)
Spectroscopic surveys of luminous submillimetre-selected sources have uncovered optically-bright galaxies at z<1 close to the positions of several submillimetre (submm) sources. Naive statistical analyses suggest that ...
Interferometric CO Observations of submillimeter-faint, radio-selected starburst galaxies at z~2
(2008-12-20)
High-redshift, dust-obscured galaxies -- selected to be luminous in the radio but relatively faint at 850um -- appear to represent a different population from the ultra-luminous submillimeter- (submm-) bright population. ...
Interferometric Observations of Powerful CO Emission from the three Submillimeter Galaxies at z=2.30, 2.51 and 3.35
(2003-11-10)
We report IRAM Plateau de Bure, millimeter interferometry of three z=~2.4 to 3.4, SCUBA deep field galaxies. Our CO line observations confirm the rest-frame UV/optical redshifts, thus more than doubling the number of ...
High-resolution CO and radio imaging of ULIRGs: extended CO structures, and implications for the universal star formation law
(2009-12-09)
We present high spatial resolution (0.4", ~3.5 kpc) PdBI interferometric data on three ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) at z~2: two submillimetre galaxies and one submillimetre faint star forming radio galaxy. The ...
The Chandra Deep Protocluster Survey: Lyα Blobs are powered by heating, not cooling
(2009-07-20)
We present the results of a 400ks Chandra survey of 29 extended Ly-alpha emitting nebulae (Ly-alpha Blobs, LABs) in the z=3.09 proto-cluster in the SSA22 field. We detect luminous X-ray counterparts in five LABs, implying ...
The SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) - III. Identification of radio and mid-infrared counterparts to submillimetre galaxies
(2007-07-27)
Determining an accurate position for a submm galaxy (SMG) is the crucial step that enables us to move from the basic properties of an SMG sample - source counts and 2-D clustering - to an assessment of their detailed, ...
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 Rest-Frame Optical Properties of SCUBA Galaxies
(2004-12-21)
We present optical and near-IR photometry of 96 dusty, far-IR luminous galaxies. We have precise spectroscopic redshifts for all these galaxies yielding a median redshift of z=2.2. The majority, 78, are submm-detected ...
The Relationship Between Stellar and Black-Hole Mass in Submillimeter Galaxies
(2005-12-20)
We analyze deep X-ray, optical and mid-infrared Spitzer observations of the CDF-N/GOODS-N region to study 13 submillimeter-detected galaxies (SMGs) with spectroscopic redshifts (median z=2.2). We find a correlation between ...
