  • A Vigorous Starburst in the SCUBA Galaxy N2 850.4 

    Smail, Ian, S. C. Chapman, R. J. Ivison, A. W. Blain, et al. 2003. "A Vigorous Starburst in the SCUBA Galaxy N2 850.4." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 342(4): 1185-1193
    We present optical and near-IR spectroscopy of a z=2.38 hyperluminous IR galaxy, covering the restframe wavelength range from 1000-5000A. It appears to comprise two components separated by less than 1" on the sky (<8kpc); ...

  • Weighing the Black Holes in z~2 Submillimeter-Emitting Galaxies Hosting Active Galactic Nuclei 

    Alexander, D. M., W. N. Brandt, I. Smail, A. M. Swinbank, et al. 2008. "Weighing the Black Holes in z~2 Submillimeter-Emitting Galaxies Hosting Active Galactic Nuclei." The Astronomical Journal 135(5): 1968-1981
    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 ...

  • Westphal-MMD11: An interacting, submillimeter luminous Lyman break galaxy 

    Chapman, S. C., A. Shapley, C. Steidel, and R. Windhorst. 2002. "Westphal-MMD11: An interacting, submillimeter luminous Lyman break galaxy." The Astrophysical Journal 572(1): 1-L5
    We present new Hubble Space Telescope, high-resolution optical imaging of the submm luminous Lyman-break galaxy, Westphal-MMD11, an interacting starburst at z=2.979. The new imaging data, in conjunction with re-analysis ...

  • The X-ray Spectral Properties of SCUBA Galaxies 

    Alexander, D. M., F. E. Bauer, S. C. Chapman, I. Smail, et al. 2005. "The X-ray Spectral Properties of SCUBA Galaxies." The Astrophysical Journal 632(2): 736-750
    Deep SCUBA surveys have uncovered a large population of massive submm galaxies (SMGs) at z>~1. Although it is generally believed that these galaxies host intense star-formation activity, there is growing evidence that a ...
