SCUBA deep fields and source confusion
Andrew W. Blain
Deep submillimetre(submm)-wave surveys made over the last three years using the SCUBA camera at the 15-m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) have revealed a new population of very…
The history of starburst galaxies
Andrew W. Blain
Dusty galaxies with luminosities in excess of 10^11 solar luminosities have been detected out to redshifts of about unity by the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), and to higher red…
The temperatures of dust-enshrouded AGNs
Neil Trentham, A. W. Blain
A high density of massive dark objects (MDOs), probably supermassive black holes, in the centres of nearby galaxies has been inferred from recent observations. There are various in…
Selection effects in high-redshift submillimeter surveys and pointed observations
Andrew W. Blain
The results of the first generation of submillimeter-wave surveys have been published. The opening of this new window on the distant Universe has added considerably to our understa…
Prospects for future far-infrared/submillimeter studies of the high-redshift Universe
Andrew W. Blain
Observations made using COBE, SCUBA, ISO and MAMBO have provided a reasonable working knowledge of both the intensity of the submm and far-infrared background radiation and the sou…
The Nature of Faint Submillimeter Galaxies
Ian Smail, Rob Ivison, Andrew Blain +1
We summarise the main results on the faint submillimeter (submm) galaxy population which have come from the SCUBA Cluster Lens Survey. We detail our current understanding of the ch…
A gravitational lens survey with Planck Surveyor
Andrew W. Blain
The Planck Surveyor cosmic microwave background (CMB) imaging mission will make very sensitive maps of the whole sky at microwave, millimetre (mm) and sub-mm wavelengths. The steep…
