Rest-frame optical and far-infrared observations of extremely bright Lyman-break galaxy candidates at z ~ 2.5
Rob Ivison, Ian Smail, Misty Bentz +4
We have investigated the rest-frame optical and far-infrared properties of a sample of extremely bright candidate Lyman-break galaxies (LBG) identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Sur…
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…
Commercially fabricated antenna-coupled Transition Edge Sensor bolometer detectors for next generation Cosmic Microwave Background polarimetry experiment
Aritoki Suzuki, Nicholas Cothard, Adrian T. Lee +10
We report on the development of commercially fabricated multi-chroic antenna coupled Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometer arrays for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarimetry…
Dust, gas and the evolutionary status of the radio galaxy, 8C1435+635, at z = 4.25
Rob Ivison, James Dunlop, David Hughes +8
We present the results of new rest-frame far-IR observations of the z = 4.25 radio galaxy, 8C1435+635, which not only confirm that it contains an enormous quantity of dust (as firs…
Spectroscopic measurements and models of energy deposition in the substrate of quantum circuits by natural ionizing radiation
Joseph W. Fowler, Paul Szypryt, Raymond Bunker +16
Naturally occurring background radiation is a source of correlated decoherence events in superconducting qubits that will challenge error-correction schemes. To characterize the ra…
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…
