A SCUBA Scanmap of the Hubble Deep Field: Measuring the bright end of the sub-mm source counts
Using the 850 micron SCUBA camera on the JCMT and a scanning technique different from other sub-mm surveys, we have obtained a 125 square arcminute map centered on the Hubble Deep Field. The one-sigma sensitivity to point ... -
An SZ-selected sample of the most massive galaxy clusters in the 2500-square-degree South Pole Telescope survey
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is currently surveying 2500 deg^2 of the southern sky to detect massive galaxy clusters out to the epoch of their formation using the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. This paper presents a ... -
Measurement of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Increment in Massive Galaxy Clusters
We have detected the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) increment at 850 microns in two galaxy clusters (Cl 0016+16 and MS 1054.4-0321) using SCUBA (Sub-millimetre Common User Bolometer Array) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. ... -
HerMES: Candidate Gravitationally Lensed Galaxies and Lensing Statistics at Submillimeter Wavelengths
We present a list of 13 candidate gravitationally lensed submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) from 95 square degrees of the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey, a surface density of 0.14\pm0.04deg^{-2}. The selected sources ... -
Characterization of Extragalactic 24micron Sources in the Spitzer First Look Survey
In this Letter, we present the initial characterization of extragalactic 24um sources in the Spitzer First Look Survey (FLS) by examining their counterparts at 8um and R-band. The color-color diagram of 24-to-8 vs. 24-to-0.7um ... -
The Infrared Counterparts of the Optically Unidentified CDF-S 1Ms Sources
The Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) 1Ms exposure produced a catalog of 346 X-ray sources, of which 59 were not visible on the VLT/FORS1 and the ESO-MPI/WFI deep R-band images to a limit of R_{vega}=26.1--26.7 mag. Using ... -
The Relationship Between Stellar and Black-Hole Mass in Submillimeter Galaxies
We analyze deep X-ray, optical and mid-infrared Spitzer observations of the CDF-N/GOODS-N region to study 13 submillimeter-detected galaxies (SMGs) with spectroscopic redshifts (median z=2.2). We find a correlation between ... -
The LABOCA survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South: A photometric redshift survey of submillimetre galaxies
[abridged] We derive photometric redshifts from 17-band optical to mid-IR photometry of 74 robust counterparts to 68 of the 126 submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) selected at 870um by LABOCA observations in the ECDFS. The median ... -
A Fully-Identified Sample of AEGIS20 Microjansky Radio Sources
Infrared 3.6 to 8 micron images of the Extended Groth Strip yield plausible counterpart identifications for all but one of 510 radio sources in the AEGIS20 S(1.4 GHz) > 50 micro-Jy sample. This is the first such deep sample ... -
Constraining Dust and Molecular Gas Properties in Lyman Alpha Blobs at z 3
In order to constrain the bolometric luminosities, dust properties and molecular gas content of giant Lyman alpha nebulae, the so-called Lyman alpha blobs, we have carried out a study of dust continuum and CO line emission ... -
Non Axi-symmetric Anisotropy of Solar Wind Turbulence
A key prediction of turbulence theories is frame-invariance, and in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, axisymmetry of fluctuations with respect to the background magnetic field. Paradoxically the power in fluctuations ... -
The HDF-North SCUBA Super-map II: Multi-wavelength properties
We present radio, optical and X-ray detected counterparts to the sub-mm sources found using SCUBA in the Hubble Deep Field North region (GOODS-N). A new counterpart identification statistic is developed to identify properties ... -
The origin of [Fe II] emission in NGC 4151
The centre of NGC 4151 has been observed in the J-band with the SMIRFS integral field unit (IFU) on the UK Infrared Telescope. A map of [Fe II] emission is derived, and compared with the distributions of the optical narrow ... -
Restframe Optical Spectroscopic Classifications for Submillimeter Galaxies
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 structure of star clusters in the outer halo of M31
We present a structural analysis of halo star clusters in M31 based on deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) imaging. The clusters in our sample span a range in galactocentric projected distance ... -
Radio imaging of the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field - III. Evolution of the radio luminosity function beyond z=1
We present spectroscopic and eleven-band photometric redshifts for galaxies in the 100-uJy Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field radio source sample. We find good agreement between our redshift distribution and that predicted by ... -
