Submillimetre surveys: the prospects for Herschel
Using the observed submillimetre source counts, from 250 to 1200μm [including the most recent 250, 350 and 500μm counts from Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimetre Telescope (BLAST)], we present a model capable of reproducing these results, which is used as a basis to make predictions for upcoming surveys with the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receive (SPIRE) instrument aboard the Hersch...
متن کاملSubmillimetre-wave surveys: first results and prospects
The population of distant dusty submm-luminous galaxies was first detected last year [19]. Forms of evolution required to account for both this population and the intensity of background radiation have now been determined [6], and are used to investigate the most efficient observing strategies for future surveys. Submm-wave galaxy surveys detect the redshifted thermal far-infrared radiation emi...
متن کاملThe Herschel-SPIRE submillimetre spectrum of Mars*
We have obtained the first continuous disk averaged spectrum of Mars from 450 to 1550 Ghz using the Herschel-SPIRE Fourier-transform spectrometer. The spectrum was obtained at a constant resolution of 1.4 GHz across the whole band. The flux from the planet is such that the instrument was operated in “bright source” mode to prevent saturation of the detectors. This was the first successful use o...
متن کاملSimulated Submillimetre Galaxy Surveys
Current submillimetre surveys are hindered in their ability to reveal detailed information on the epoch of galaxy formation and the evolutionary history of a high-redshift starburst galaxy population. The difficulties are due to the small primary apertures (D < 15-m) of existing submil-limetre telescopes and the limited sensitivities of their first generation of bolometer cameras. This situatio...
متن کاملCosmological Surveys at Submillimetre Wavelengths
One of the major goals of observational cosmology is to acquire empirical data that has the diagnostic power to develop the theoretical modelling of the high-redshift universe, ultimately leading to an accurate understanding of the processes by which galaxies and clusters form and subsequently evolve. New bolometer arrays operating on the world’s largest submillimetre telescopes now offer a uni...
