Detailed modelling of a large sample of Herschel sources in the Lockman Hole: identification of cold dust and of lensing candidates through their anomalous SEDs
Michael Rowan-Robinson, Lingyu Wang, Julie Wardlow +12
We have studied in detail a sample of 967 SPIRE sources with 5-sigma detections at 350 and 500 micron and associations with Spitzer-SWIRE 24 micron galaxies in the HerMES-Lockman s…
The Canada-UK Deep Submillimetre Survey: The Survey of the 14-hour field
Stephen Eales, Simon Lilly, Tracy Webb +4
We have used SCUBA to survey an area of 50 square arcmin, detecting 19 sources down to a 3sigma sensitivity limit of 3.5 mJy at 850 microns. We have used Monte-Carlo simulations to…
The Causes of the Red Sequence, the Blue Cloud, the Green Valley and the Green Mountain
Stephen Eales, Maarten Baes, Nathan Bourne +23
The galaxies found in optical surveys fall in two distinct regions of a diagram of optical colour versus absolute magnitude: the red sequence and the blue cloud with the green vall…
The star-formation rate density from z = 0-6
Michael Rowan-Robinson, Seb Oliver, Lingyu Wang +6
We use 3035 Herschel-SPIRE 500m sources from 20.3 sq deg of sky in the HerMES Lockman, ES1 and XMM-LSS areas to estimate the star-formation rate density at z = 1-6. 500 mu sour…
Spitzer catalog of Herschel-selected ultrared dusty, star-forming galaxies
Jingzhe Ma, Asantha Cooray, Hooshang Nayyeri +24
The largest Herschel extragalactic surveys, H-ATLAS and HerMES, have selected a sample of "ultrared" dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) with rising SPIRE flux densities ($S_{500}…
The interstellar medium in high-redshift submillimeter galaxies as probed by infrared spectroscopy
Julie L. Wardlow, Asantha Cooray, Willow Osage +21
Submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at are luminous in the far-infrared and have star-formation rates, SFR, of hundreds to thousands of solar masses per year. However, it is…
Can dust emission be used to map the interstellar medium in high-redshift galaxies? Results from the Herschel Reference Survey
Stephen Eales, Matthew W. L. Smith, Robbie Auld +23
It has often been suggested that an alternative to the standard CO/21-cm method for estimating the mass of the interstellar medium (ISM) in a galaxy might be to estimate the mass o…
H-ATLAS/GAMA: Quantifying the Morphological Evolution of the Galaxy Population Using Cosmic Calorimetry
Stephen Eales, Andrew Fullard, Matthew Allen +28
Using results from the Herschel Astrophysical Terrahertz Large-Area Survey and the Galaxy and Mass Assembly project, we show that, for galaxy masses above approximately 1.0e8 solar…
The Infrared Properties of Sources Matched in the WISE all-sky and Herschel-ATLAS Surveys
Nicholas A. Bond, Dominic J. Benford, Jonathan P. Gardner +34
We describe the infrared properties of sources detected over ~36 deg^2 of sky in the GAMA 15-hr equatorial field, using data from both the Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large-Ar…
Witnessing the violent, merger-driven formation of an extremely massive galaxy 1.7 Gyr after the Big Bang
Lura K. Pitchford, Joseph Cairns, Duncan Farrah +4
We combine near-infrared imaging in two bands from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) with archival observations of molecular gas to study SDSS J160705.16+533558.6 (J1607), an extrem…
The Canada-UK Deep Submillimeter Survey VII: Optical and near-infrared identifications for the 14h field
Tracy Webb, Simon Lilly, David Clements +5
We present the multi-wavelength identifications for 23 sources in the Canada-UK Deep Submillimeter Survey (CUDSS) 14h field. The identifications have been selected on the basis of…
XMM-Newton Surveys of the CFRS Fields - I: The Sub-mm/X-ray relation
Timothy J. Waskett, Stephen A. Eales, Walter K. Gear +7
First results from XMM-Newton observations of the Canada France Redshift Survey (CFRS) 3hr, 10hr and 14hr fields are presented. Limited regions of two of the XMM surveys (3 and 14h…
Characterisation of Herschel-selected strong lens candidates through HST and sub-mm/mm observations
Edoardo Borsato, Lucia Marchetti, Mattia Negrello +34
We have carried out HST snapshot observations at 1.1 m of 281 candidate strongly lensed galaxies identified in the wide-area extragalactic surveys conducted with the Herschel s…
Understanding Infrared Galaxy Populations: the SWIRE Legacy Survey
Michael Rowan-Robinson, Carol Lonsdale, Gene Smith +21
We discuss spectral energy distributions, photometric redshifts, redshift distributions, luminosity functions, source-counts and the far infrared to optical luminosity ratio for so…
Far-infrared Fine-Structure Line Diagnostics of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
Duncan Farrah, Vianney Lebouteiller, Henrik Spoon +16
We present Herschel observations of six fine-structure lines in 25 Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies at z<0.27. The lines, [O III]52, [N III]57, [O I]63, [N II]122, [O I]145, and [C…
The Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) for AKARI
Mitsunobu Kawada, Hajime Baba, Peter D. Barthel +57
