Detection and characterisation of submm transient sources with a large single-dish telescope
Mike Peel, Dave Clements, Tony Mroczkowski +1
The exploration of the time-variable astronomical sky at submm wavelengths is rapidly becoming more feasible with large sky surveys by Cosmic Microwave Background telescopes with t…
Spatially resolved observations of warm ionized gas and feedback in local ULIRGs
Mark Westmoquette, Dave Clements, George Bendo +1
We present VLT/VIMOS-IFU emission-line spectroscopy of a volume limited sample of 18 southern ULIRGs selected with z<0.09 and dec<10. By covering a wide range of ULIRG types, this…
The Canada-UK Deep Submillimetre Survey VIII: Source Identifications in the 3-hour field
Dave Clements, Steve Eales, Kris Wojciechowski +10
We present optical, near-infrared and radio observations of the 3-hour field of the Canada-UK Deep Submillimetre Survey. Of the 27 submillimetre sources in the field, nine have sec…
The IRAS view of the Local Universe
Will Saunders, Kenton D'Mellow, Helen Valentine +8
We summarise results for the predicted density and peculiar velocity fields from the PSCz survey. We have used a generalisation of the Path Interchange Zeldovich Approximation to d…
SCUBA-2 Ultra Deep Imaging Eao Survey (Studies) III: Multi-wavelength properties, luminosity functions and preliminary source catalog of 450-m-selected galaxies
Chen-Fatt Lim, Wei-Hao Wang, Ian Smail +35
We construct a SCUBA-2 450-m map in the COSMOS field that covers an area of 300 arcmin and reaches a 1 noise level of 0.65 mJy in the deepest region. We extract 256 s…
The co-evolution of black hole growth and star formation from a cross-correlation analysis between quasars and the cosmic infrared background
Lingyu Wang, Marco Viero, Nicholas P. Ross +19
We present the first cross-correlation measurement between Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Type 1 quasars and the cosmic infrared background (CIB) measured by Herschel. The distrib…
Timeline analysis and wavelet multiscale analysis of the AKARI All-Sky Survey at 90 micron
Lingyu Wang, Michael Rowan-Robinson, Issei Yamamura +17
We present a careful analysis of the point source detection limit of the AKARI All-Sky Survey in the WIDE-S 90 m band near the North Ecliptic Pole (NEP). Timeline Analysis is u…
The Radio-Optical Correlation in Steep-Spectrum Quasars
Stephen Serjeant, Steve Rawlings, Stephen J. Maddox +4
Using complete samples of steep-spectrum quasars, we present evidence for a correlation between radio and optical luminosity which is not caused by selection effects, nor caused by…
The Behind The Plane Survey - source selection, identifications and completeness
Will Saunders, Kenton D'Mellow, Brent Tully +7
We present details of the Behind The Plane survey of IRAS galaxies, which extends the PSCz survey to cover the 93% of the sky with complete and reliable IRAS data from the Point So…
A Pilot Study for the SCUBA-2 'All-Sky' Survey
Todd Mackenzie, Filiberto G. Braglia, Andy G. Gibb +30
We have carried out a pilot study for the SCUBA-2 'All-Sky' Survey, SASSy, a wide and shallow mapping project at 850 microns, designed to find rare objects, both Galactic and extra…
The SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) -- VI. 350 micron mapping of submillimetre galaxies
Kristen Coppin, Mark Halpern, Douglas Scott +24
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 sourc…
The Behind The Plane Survey
Will Saunders, Kenton d'Mellow, Brent Tully +7
We have extended the PSCz to cover 93% of the sky, the practical limit for any catalogue based on the Point Source Catalog. The galaxy identifications are complete, and the core of…
The Far-Infrared Properties of Spatially Resolved AKARI Observations
Woong-Seob Jeong, Takao Nakagawa, Issei Yamamura +29
We present the spatially resolved observations of IRAS sources from the Japanese infrared astronomy satellite AKARI All-Sky Survey during the performance verification (PV) phase of…
A new HST/Herschel deep field at the North Ecliptic Pole: preparing the way for JWST, SPICA and Euclid
Stephen Serjeant, Veronique Buat, Denis Burgarella +22
We propose a co-ordinated multi-observatory survey at the North Ecliptic Pole. This field is the natural extragalactic deep field location for most space observatories (e.g. contai…
The Effectiveness of Mid IR / Far IR Blind, Wide Area, Spectral Surveys in Breaking the Confusion Limit
Gwenifer Raymond, Kate G. Isaak, Dave Clements +2
Source confusion defines a practical depth to which to take large-area extragalactic surveys. 3D imaging spectrometers with positional as well as spectral information, however, pot…
