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 ...
A robust sample of submillimetre galaxies: constraints on the prevalence of dusty, high-redshift starbursts
(2005-12-11)
The modest significance of most sources detected in current submm surveys can potentially compromise some analyses due to the inclusion of spurious sources in catalogues typically selected at >3.0-3.5sigma. Here, we develop ...
An interferometric CO survey of luminous submm galaxies
(2005-05)
In this paper we present results from an IRAM Plateau de Bure millimetre-wave Interferometer (PdBI) survey for CO emission towards radio-detected submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) with known optical and near-infrared spectroscopic ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 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 SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) -- II. Submillimetre maps, catalogue and number counts
(2006-11-11)
We present the maps, source catalogue and number counts of the largest, most complete and unbiased extragalactic submillimetre survey ever undertaken: the 850-micron SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES). Using ...
