FIRBACK: I. A deep survey at 175 m with ISO, preliminary results
J. L. Puget, G. Lagache, D. L Clements +10
FIRBACK is a deep survey conducted with the ISOPHOT instrument aboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) at an effective wavelength of 175 m. We present here results we have o…
The FIRBACK 175 micron Survey
David L. Clements, J-L Puget, G. Lagache +14
The FIRBACK project is a collaboration of eight institutes aimed at using long wavelength surveys with ISO to uncover the nature of the Cosmic Far-Infrared Background. We have surv…
HST NICMOS and WFPC2 Imaging of Ultraluminous Galaxies
K. D. Borne, H. Bushouse, L. Colina +6
HST is used to study the power sources and the interaction-induced tidal disturbances within the most luminous galaxies in the local universe -- the Ultra-Luminous IR Galaxies (ULI…
A classical approach to faint extragalactic source extraction from ISOCAM deep surveys. Application to the Hubble Deep Field
F. -X. Desert, J. -L. Puget, D. L. Clements +4
We have developed a general data reduction technique for ISOCAM data coming from various deep surveys of faint galaxies. In order to reach the fundamental limits of the camera (due…
Towards Completing a Large Area ULIRG Survey
D. L. Clements, W. J. Saunders, R. G. McMahon
We present the latest results in our efforts to produce a complete, large sample of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs, L60 > 10^11.4 Lsun for H0=100kms^-1 Mpc^-1, q0=0.5) for…
Limits on the star formation rates of z>2 damped Ly-alpha systems from H-alpha spectroscopy
Andrew J. Bunker, Stephen J. Warren, D. L. Clements +2
We present the results of a long-slit K-band spectroscopic search with CGS4 on UKIRT for H-alpha emission from the objects responsible for high-redshift (z > 2) damped Ly-alpha abs…
