  • A Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS and ACS Morphological Study of z~2 Submillimetre Galaxies 

    Swinbank, Mark, Ian Smail, Scott Chapman, Colin Borys, et al. 2010. "A Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS and ACS Morphological Study of z~2 Submillimetre Galaxies." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 405(1): 234.
    We present a quantitative morphological analysis using HST NICMOS H160- and ACS I775- band imaging of 25 spectroscopically confirmed submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) which have redshifts between z=0.7-3.4. Our analysis also ...
  • The Link between Submillimetre Galaxies and Luminous Ellipticals: Near-Infrared IFU Spectroscopy of Submillimetre Galaxies 

    Swinbank, Mark, Chapman, , Ian Smail, et al. 2006. "The Link between Submillimetre Galaxies and Luminous Ellipticals: Near-Infrared IFU Spectroscopy of Submillimetre Galaxies." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 371:465.
    We present two-dimensional spectroscopy covering the rest-frame wavelengths of strong optical emission lines in six luminous submillimetre galaxies at z=1.3--2.5. Together with HST ACS and NICMOS imaging we map the dynamics ...
  • Optical and Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectroscopy of the SCUBA Galaxy N2-850.4 

    Swinbank, Mark, Ian Smail, Richard Bower, Colin Borys, et al. 2005. "Optical and Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectroscopy of the SCUBA Galaxy N2-850.4." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 359(2): 401-407
    We present optical and near-infrared integral field spectroscopy of the SCUBA galaxy SMM J163650.43+405734.5 (ELAIS N2 850.4) at z=2.385. We combine Ly-alpha and H-alpha emission line maps and velocity structure with high ...
  • The Properties of Sub-mm Galaxies in Hierarchical Models 

    Swinbank, Mark, Cedric Lacey, Ian Smail, Carlton Baugh, et al. 2008. "The Properties of Sub-mm Galaxies in Hierarchical Models." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 391: 420.
    We use the combined GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation and GRASIL spectrophotometric code to investigate the properties of galaxies selected via their sub-mm emission. Our fiducial model has previously been ...
  • Rest-frame optical and far-infrared observations of extremely bright Lyman-break galaxy candidates at z ~ 2.5 

    Ivison, Rob, Ian Smail, Misty Bentz, Jason Stevens, et al. 2005. "Rest-frame optical and far-infrared observations of extremely bright Lyman-break galaxy candidates at z ~ 2.5." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 362(2): 535-541
    We have investigated the rest-frame optical and far-infrared properties of a sample of extremely bright candidate Lyman-break galaxies (LBG) identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Their high ultraviolet luminosities ...
  • The Rest-frame Optical Spectra of SCUBA Galaxies 

    Swinbank, Mark, Ian Smail, Scott Chapman, Andrew Blain, et al. 2004. "The Rest-frame Optical Spectra of SCUBA Galaxies." The Astrophysical Journal 616(1): 71-85
    We present near-infrared spectroscopy and narrow-band imaging at the wavelength of redshifted H-alpha for a sample of 30 high-redshift, far-infrared luminous galaxies. This sample is selected from surveys in the sub-millimeter, ...
  • Restframe Optical Spectroscopic Classifications for Submillimeter Galaxies 

    Takata, Tadafumi, Kazuhiro Sekiguchi, Ian Smail, Scott C. Chapman, et al. 2006. "Restframe Optical Spectroscopic Classifications for Submillimeter Galaxies." The Astrophysical Journal 651(2): 713-727
    We report the results of a systematic near-infrared spectroscopic survey using the Subaru, VLT and Keck Telescopes of a sample of high redshift Ultra-luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) mainly composed of submillimeter-selected ...
  • The SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) -- VI. 350 micron mapping of submillimetre galaxies 

    Coppin, Kristen, Mark Halpern, Douglas Scott, Colin Borys, et al. 2008. "The SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) -- VI. 350 micron mapping of submillimetre galaxies." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 384(4):1597-1610
    A follow-up survey using the Submillimetre High-Angular Resolution Camera (SHARC-II) at 350 microns has been carried out to map the regions around several 850 micron-selected sources from the Submillimetre HAlf Degree ...
