Cold dust and young starbursts: spectral energy distributions of Herschel SPIRE sources from the HerMES survey

Michael Rowan-Robinson, Herschel-SPIRE HerMES consortium

We present spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 68 Herschel sources detected at 5-sigma at 250, 350 and 500 mu in the HerMES SWIRE-Lockman field. We explore whether existing mo…

Mid-infrared spectroscopy of candidate AGN-dominated submillimeter galaxies

K. Coppin, A. Pope, K. Menendez-Delmestre +23

Spitzer spectroscopy has revealed that ~80% of submm galaxies (SMGs) are starburst (SB) dominated in the mid-infrared. Here we focus on the remaining ~20% that show signs of harbor…
