An ultradeep submillimetre map: beneath the SCUBA confusion limit with lensing and robust source extraction
K. K. Knudsen, V. E. Barnard, P. P. van der Werf +7
Extracting sources with low signal-to-noise from maps with structured background is a non-trivial task which has become important in studying the faint end of the submillimetre num…
MIPS J142824.0+352619: A Hyperluminous Starburst Galaxy at z=1.325
C. Borys, A. W. Blain, A. Dey +19
Using the SHARC-II camera at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to obtain 350 micron images of sources detected with the MIPS instrument on Spitzer, we have discovered a remarka…
SCUBA sub-millimeter observations of gamma-ray bursters IV. GRB 021004, 021211, 030115, 030226, 041006
I. A. Smith, R. P. J. Tilanus, N. Tanvir +7
We discuss our ongoing program of Target of Opportunity (ToO) sub-millimeter observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using the Sub-millimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on…
The submm properties of GRB host galaxies
N. R. Tanvir, V. E. Barnard, A. W. Blain +8
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) accompany the deaths of some massive stars and hence, since massive stars are short lived, are a tracer of star formation activity. Given that…
The very bright SCUBA galaxy count: looking for SCUBA galaxies with the Mexican Hat Wavelet
V. E. Barnard, P. Vielva, D. P. I. Pierce-Price +4
We present the results of a search for bright high-redshift galaxies in two large SCUBA scan-maps of Galactic regions. A Mexican Hat Wavelet technique was used to locate point sour…
Multiply-imaged submm galaxy in a z~2.5 group
Jean-Paul Kneib, Paul P. van der Werf, Kirsten Kraiberg Knudsen +5
We present observations of a remarkable submillimetre-selected galaxy, SMMJ16359+6612. This distant galaxy lies behind the core of a massive cluster of galaxies, A2218, and is grav…
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…
SCUBA observations of the host galaxies of four dark gamma-ray bursts
V. E. Barnard, A. W. Blain, N. R. Tanvir +7
We present the results of a search for submillimetre-luminous host galaxies of optically dark gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on…
The endpoint of the rp process on accreting neutron stars
H. Schatz, A. Aprahamian, V. Barnard +6
We calculate the rapid proton (rp) capture process of hydrogen burning on the surface of an accreting neutron star with an updated reaction network that extends up to Xe, far beyon…
