Witnessing the violent, merger-driven formation of an extremely massive galaxy 1.7 Gyr after the Big Bang

Lura K. Pitchford, Joseph Cairns, Duncan Farrah +4

We combine near-infrared imaging in two bands from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) with archival observations of molecular gas to study SDSS J160705.16+533558.6 (J1607), an extrem…

Polarized Dust Emission in Arp220: Magnetic Fields in the Core of an Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy

David L Clements, Qizhou Zhang, K. Pattle +3

Arp 220 is the prototypical Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy (ULIRG), and one of the brightest objects in the extragalactic far-infrared sky. It is the result of a merger between two…

The Nature of 500 micron Risers III: A Small Complete Sample

D. L. Clements, J. Cairns, J. Greenslade +4

Herschel surveys have found large numbers of sources with red far-IR colours, and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) rising from 250 to 500m: 500 risers. The nature and role o…

A large-scale kinematic study of molecular gas in high-z cluster galaxies: Evidence for high levels of kinematic asymmetry

W. J. Cramer, A. G. Noble, K. Massingill +14

We investigate the resolved kinematics of the molecular gas, as traced by ALMA in CO (2-1), of 25 cluster member galaxies across three different clusters at a redshift of $z\sim1.6…

Stellar and black hole assembly in z<0.3 infrared-luminous mergers: intermittent starbursts vs. super-Eddington accretion

Duncan Farrah, Andreas Efstathiou, Jose Afonso +20

We study stellar and black hole mass assembly in a sample of 42 infrared-luminous galaxy mergers at z<0.3 by combining results from radiative transfer modelling with archival measu…

The Nature of 500 Micron Risers II: Sub-mm Faint Dusty Star Forming Galaxies

J. Cairns, D. L. Clements, J. Greenslade +6

We present SCUBA-2 and SMA follow-up observations of four candidate high redshift Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies, selected as sources with rising SEDs in the 250, 350 and 500m Hers…

SCUBA-2 overdensities associated with candidate protoclusters selected from Planck data

T. Cheng, D. L. Clements, J. Greenslade +21

We measure the 850-m source densities of 46 candidate protoclusters selected from the Planck High-z catalogue (PHz) and the Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS) that were…

VIS3COS: III. environmental effects on the star formation histories of galaxies at z~0.8 seen in [OII], H, and Dn4000

Ana Paulino-Afonso, David Sobral, Behnam Darvish +5

[ABRIDGED] We present spectroscopic observations of 466 galaxies in and around a superstructure at targeted by the VIMOS Spectroscopic Survey of a Supercluster in the C…

SCUBA-2 observations of candidate starbursting protoclusters selected by Planck and Herschel-SPIRE

T. Cheng, D. L. Clements, J. Greenslade +21

We present SCUBA-2 850-m observations of 13 candidate starbursting protoclusters selected using Planck and Herschel data. The cumulative number counts of the 850-m sources in…

Large Molecular Gas Reservoirs in Star Forming Cluster Galaxies

Joseph Cairns, Andra Stroe, Carlos De Breuck +2

We present CO(2-1) observations of 72 galaxies in the nearby, disturbed Antlia galaxy cluster with the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope. The galaxies in our sample ar…
