Rob Ivison, J. A. Yates, P. J. Hall
We report high spatial and spectral resolution measurements of masers towards R Aqr and H1-36, both of which are examples of the sub-class of symbiotic stars that contain a long-pe…
The Herschel-SPIRE Legacy Survey (HSLS): the scientific goals of a shallow and wide submillimeter imaging survey with SPIRE
Asantha Cooray, Steve Eales, Scott Chapman +247
A large sub-mm survey with Herschel will enable many exciting science opportunities, especially in an era of wide-field optical and radio surveys and high resolution cosmic microwa…
The ALMA Spectroscopic Survey in the HUDF: A model to explain observed 1.1 and 0.85 millimeter dust continuum number counts
Gergö Popping, Fabian Walter, Peter Behroozi +17
We present a new semi-empirical model for the dust continuum number counts of galaxies at 1.1 millimeter and 850 \micron. Our approach couples an observationally motivated model fo…
