A 1.2mm MAMBO/IRAM-30m Study of Dust Emission from optically luminous z~2 Quasars

A. Omont, A. Beelen, F. Bertoldi +5

We report 250GHz (1.2mm) observations of redshift 1.8 < z < 2.8 optically luminous (M_B < -27.0), radio quiet quasars using the Max-Planck Millimeter Bolometer (MAMBO) array at the…

The SCUBA Bright Quasar Survey II: unveiling the quasar epoch at submillimetre wavelengths

Robert S. Priddey, Kate G. Isaak, Richard G. McMahon +1

We present results of the first systematic search for submillimetre continuum emission from z=2, radio-quiet, optically-luminous quasars, using the SCUBA/JCMT. We have observed a h…

Photometric Redshifts for an Optical/Near-Infrared Catalogue in the Chandra Deep Field South

E R Stanway, A Bunker, R G McMahon

Photometric redshifts have proven a powerful tool in identifying galaxies over a large range of lookback times. We have been generalising this technique to incorporate the selectio…

The afterglow and complex environment of the optically dim burst GRB 980613

Jens Hjorth, Bjarne Thomsen, Svend R. Nielsen +15

We report the identification of the optical afterglow of GRB 980613 in R- and I-band images obtained between 16 and 48 hours after the gamma-ray burst. Early near-infrared (NIR) H…

Observations of Hyperluminous Infrared Galaxies with the Infrared Space Observatory: Implications for the origin of their extreme luminosities

Aprajita Verma, Michael Rowan-Robinson, Richard McMahon +1

We present 7-180micron photometry of a sample of hyperluminous infrared galaxies (HyLIGs) obtained with the photometer and camera mounted on the Infrared Space Observatory. We have…

A Redshift z = 6.56 Galaxy Behind the Cluster Abell 370

Esther M. Hu, Lennox L. Cowie, Richard G. McMahon +5

We report the discovery of a redshift z=6.56 galaxy lying behind the cluster Abell 370. The object HCM 6A was found in a narrowband imaging survey using a 118 Angstrom bandpass fil…
