Selection Effects in High-redshift Submillimeter Surveys and Pointed Observations
The results of the first generation of submillimeter (submm)-wave surveys have been published. The opening of this new window on the distant Universe has added considerably to our understanding of the galaxy formation process, by revealing a numerous population of very luminous distant galaxies. Most would have been very difficult to identify using other methods. The potential importance of sel...
متن کاملDeep Submillimeter Surveys: Luminous Infrared Galaxies at High Redshift
Deep surveys at 850μm from Mauna Kea using the SCUBA camera on the JCMT appear to have discovered a substantial population of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs: Lir > 10 L⊙) 3 at high redshift (z ∼ 1−4). The cumulative space density of these sources (∼ 10 deg with S850 > 1mJy) is sufficient to account for nearly all of the extragalactic background light at submillimeter wavelengths. Curren...
متن کاملGravitational Lensing Limits on the Average Redshift of Submillimeter Sources
The submillimeter universe has now been explored with the Submillimeter Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, and a claim has been made to the presence of a new population of optically unidentified starforming galaxies at high redshifts (z ∼> 3). Such a population dramatically alters current views on the star formation history of the universe as well a...
متن کاملCosmology with Redshift Surveys of Radio Sources
We use the K − z relation for radio galaxies to illustrate why it has proved difficult to obtain definitive cosmological results from studies based entirely on catalogues of the brightest radio sources, e.g. 3C. To improve on this situation we have been undertaking redshift surveys of complete samples drawn from the fainter 6C and 7C radio catalogues. We describe these surveys, and illustrate t...
متن کاملHerMES: SPIRE galaxy number counts at 250, 350, and 500 μm*
Emission at far-infrared wavelengths makes up a significant fraction of the total light detected from galaxies over the age of Universe. Herschel provides an opportunity for studying galaxies at the peak wavelength of their emission. Our aim is to provide a benchmark for models of galaxy population evolution and to test pre-existing models of galaxies. With the Herschel Multi-tiered Extra-galac...
