Submillimetre and far-infrared spectral energy distributions of galaxies: the luminosity-temperature relation and consequences for photometric redshifts

Andrew W. Blain, V. E. Barnard, Scott C. Chapman

The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of dusty high-redshift galaxies are poorly sampled in frequency and spatially unresolved. Their form is crucially important for estimating…

Deep radio imaging of the SCUBA 8-mJy survey fields: sub-mm source identifications and redshift distribution

Rob Ivison, Thomas Greve, Ian Smail +12

The SCUBA 8-mJy survey is the largest submm extragalactic mapping survey undertaken to date, centred on the Lockman Hole and ELAIS N2 regions. Here, we present new 1.4-GHz imaging…

Gamma-ray bursts in normal and extreme star-forming galaxies

Neil Trentham, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, A. W. Blain

We discuss how gamma-ray burst (GRB) optical afterglows and multiwavelength observations of their host galaxies can be used to obtain information about the relative amounts of star…

Detecting gravitational lensing cosmic shear from samples of several galaxies using two-dimensional spectral imaging

Andrew W. Blain

Studies of weak gravitational lensing by large-scale structures require the measurement of the distortions introduced to the shapes of distant galaxies at the few percent level by…

The effect of lensing on the identification of bright SCUBA galaxies

S. C. Chapman, Ian Smail, R. J. Ivison +1

Spectroscopic surveys of luminous submillimetre-selected sources have uncovered optically-bright galaxies at z<1 close to the positions of several submillimetre (submm) sources. Na…

Probing the Invisible Universe: The Case for Far-IR/Submillimeter Interferometry

D. Leisawitz, T. Armstrong, D. Benford +25

The question "How did we get here and what will the future bring?" captures the human imagination and the attention of the National Academy of Science's Astronomy and Astrophysics…
