  • Energetic galaxy-wide outflows in high-redshift ultra-luminous infrared galaxies hosting AGN activity 

    Harrison, C. M., D. M. Alexander, A. M. Swinbank, Ian Smail, et al. 2012. "Energetic galaxy-wide outflows in high-redshift ultra-luminous infrared galaxies hosting AGN activity." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 426:1073.
    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) ...

  • Integral Field Spectroscopy of 2.0<z<2.7 Sub-mm Galaxies; gas morphologies and kinematics 

    Alaghband-Zadeh, S., S. C. Chapman, A. M. Swinbank, Ian Smail, et al. 2012. "Integral Field Spectroscopy of 2.0<z<2.7 Sub-mm Galaxies; gas morphologies and kinematics." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 424:2232.
    We present two-dimensional, integral field spectroscopy covering the rest-frame wavelengths of strong optical emission lines in nine sub-mm-luminous galaxies (SMGs) at 2.0&lt;z&lt;2.7. The GEMINI-NIFS and VLT-SINFONI imaging ...

  • Luminous Starbursts in the Redshift Desert at z 1-2: Star Formation Rates, Masses & Evidence for Outflows 

    Banerji, Manda, Scott C. Chapman, Ian Smail, S. Alaghband-Zadeh, et al. 2011. "Luminous Starbursts in the Redshift Desert at z 1-2: Star Formation Rates, Masses & Evidence for Outflows." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 418:1071.
    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 ...

  • Spectroscopic Characterisation of 250um-Selected Hyper-Luminous Star Forming Galaxies 

    Casey, C. M., S. C. Chapman, Ian Smail, S. Alaghband-Zadeh, et al. 2010. "Spectroscopic Characterisation of 250um-Selected Hyper-Luminous Star Forming Galaxies." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 411:2739.
    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 ...

  • A survey of molecular gas in luminous sub-millimetre galaxies 

    Bothwell, M. S., Ian Smail, S. C. Chapman, R. Genzel, et al. 2012. "A survey of molecular gas in luminous sub-millimetre galaxies." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 429(4): 3047.
    We present the results from a survey for 12CO emission in 40 luminous sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs), with 850um fluxes of S850 = 4 - 20 mJy, conducted with the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. We detect 12CO emission in ...

  • Using [CI] to probe the Interstellar Medium in z~2.5 Sub-Millimeter Galaxies 

    Alaghband-Zadeh, S., S. C. Chapman, A. M. Swinbank, Ian Smail, et al. 2013. "Using [CI] to probe the Interstellar Medium in z~2.5 Sub-Millimeter Galaxies." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 435(2):1493
    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 ...
