Imaging the environment of a z = 6.3 submillimeter galaxy with SCUBA-2

E. I. Robson, R. J. Ivison, Ian Smail +24

We describe a search for submillimeter emission in the vicinity of one of the most distant, luminous galaxies known, HerMES FLS3 at z=6.34, exploiting it as a signpost to a potenti…

The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: First results from the SCUBA-2 observations of the Ophiuchus molecular cloud and a virial analysis of its prestellar core population

K. Pattle, D. Ward-Thompson, J. M. Kirk +59

In this paper we present the first observations of the Ophiuchus molecular cloud performed as part of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Survey (GBS) with the SCUB…

The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: A Quantitative Comparison Between SCUBA-2 Data Reduction Methods

S. Mairs, D. Johnstone, H. Kirk +18

Performing ground-based submillimetre observations is a difficult task as the measurements are subject to absorption and emission from water vapour in the Earth's atmosphere and ti…

SCUBA-2: The 10000 pixel bolometer camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope

W. S. Holland, D. Bintley, E. L. Chapin +46

SCUBA-2 is an innovative 10000 pixel bolometer camera operating at submillimetre wavelengths on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). The camera has the capability to carry out…

HARP/ACSIS: A submillimetre spectral imaging system on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope

J. V. Buckle, R. E. Hills, H. Smith +35

This paper describes a new Heterodyne Array Receiver Programme (HARP) and Auto-Correlation Spectral Imaging System (ACSIS) that have recently been installed and commissioned on the…

The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: A First Look at IC 5146

D. Johnstone, S. Ciccone, H. Kirk +53

We present 450 and 850 micron submillimetre continuum observations of the IC5146 star-forming region taken as part of the JCMT Gould Belt Survey. We investigate the location of bri…
