Celebrating 30 Years of Science from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope
Ian Robson, Wayne S. Holland, Per Friberg
The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) has been the world's most successful single dish telescope at submillimetre wavelengths since it began operations in 1987. From the pioneer…
An update on the SCUBA-2 project
Michael Audley, Wayne Holland, Trevor Hodson +16
SCUBA-2, which replaces SCUBA (the Submillimeter Common User Bolometer Array) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in 2006, is a large-format bolometer array for submillimet…
Cold Dust in Hot Regions
Gopika Sreenilayam, Michel Fich, Peter Ade +12
We mapped five massive star forming regions with the SCUBA-2 camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). Temperature and column density maps are obtained from the SCUBA-2 4…
Submillimetre Observations of z>6 Quasars
Ian Robson, Robert Priddey, Kate Isaak +1
We report on submillimetre observations of three high redshift (z>6) quasars, made using the SCUBA camera on the JCMT. Only one of the sample was detected at 850um-- SDSS J1148+525…
A new era of wide-field submillimetre imaging: on-sky performance of SCUBA-2
Jessica T. Dempsey, Wayne S. Holland, Antonio Chrysostomou +15
SCUBA-2 is the largest submillimetre wide-field bolometric camera ever built. This 43 square arc-minute field-of-view instrument operates at two wavelengths (850 and 450 microns) a…
Simultaneous X-ray and infrared variability in the quasar 3C273
Ian McHardy, Anthony Lawson, Andrew Newsam +3
From a combination of high quality X-ray observations from the NASA Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), and infrared observations from the UK Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) we show tha…
