  • Accurate Spectral energy distributions and selection effects for high-redshift dusty galaxies: a new hot population to discover with the Spitzer Space Telescope? 

    Blain, Andrew W., Scott C. Chapman, Ian Smail, and Rob Ivison. 2004. "Accurate Spectral energy distributions and selection effects for high-redshift dusty galaxies: a new hot population to discover with the Spitzer Space Telescope?." The Astrophysical Journal 611(1): 52-58
    The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of dust-enshrouded galaxies with powerful restframe far-infrared emission have been constrained by a range of ground-based and space-borne surveys. The IRAS catalog provides a ...

  • Clustering of Submillimeter-Selected Galaxies 

    Blain, Andrew W., Scott S. Chapman, Ian Smail, and Rob Ivison. 2004. "Clustering of Submillimeter-Selected Galaxies." The Astrophysical Journal 611(2): 725-731
    Using accurate positions from very deep radio observations to guide multi-object Keck spectroscopy, we have determined a substantially complete redshift distribution for very luminous, distant submillimeter(submm)-selected ...

  • Mapping the Clumpy Structures within Submillimeter Galaxies using Laser-Guide Star Adaptive Optics Spectroscopy 

    Menéndez-Delmestre, Karín, Andrew W. Blain, Mark Swinbank, Ian Smail, et al. 2013. "Mapping the Clumpy Structures within Submillimeter Galaxies using Laser-Guide Star Adaptive Optics Spectroscopy." The Astrophysical Journal 767(2):151
    We present the first integral-field spectroscopic observations of high-redshift submillimeter-selected galaxies (SMGs) using Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics (LGS-AO). We target H-alpha emission of three SMGs at redshifts ...

  • Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of High Redshift Submillimeter Galaxies: First Results 

    Menéndez-Delmestre, Karín, Andrew W. Blain, Dave M. Alexander, Ian Smail, et al. 2007. "Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of High Redshift Submillimeter Galaxies: First Results." The Astrophysical Journal 655(2): 65-L68
    We present mid-infrared spectra of 5 submillimeter galaxies at z=0.65-2.38 taken with the Spitzer Space Telescope. Four of these sources, at z<1.5, have strong PAH features and their composite spectrum is well fitted ...

  • Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of Submillimeter Galaxies: Extended Star Formation in Massive High Redshift Galaxies 

    Menéndez-Delmestre, Karín, Andrew W. Blain, Ian Smail, Dave M. Alexander, et al. 2009. "Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of Submillimeter Galaxies: Extended Star Formation in Massive High Redshift Galaxies." The Astrophysical Journal 699(1):667.
    We used the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) to study the mid-IR properties and investigate the energetics of 24 Submillimeter Galaxies (SMGs). This is the largest sample of SMGs observed with Spitzer IRS and covers the ...

  • Submillimetre and far-infrared spectral energy distributions of galaxies: the luminosity-temperature relation and consequences for photometric redshifts 

    Blain, Andrew W., V. E. Barnard, and Scott C. Chapman. 2003. "Submillimetre and far-infrared spectral energy distributions of galaxies: the luminosity-temperature relation and consequences for photometric redshifts." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 338(3): 733-744
    The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of dusty high-redshift galaxies are poorly sampled in frequency and spatially unresolved. Their form is crucially important for estimating the large luminosities of these galaxies ...
