The nature of faint submillimetre-selected galaxies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the source catalogue for the SCUBA Lens Survey. We summarise the results of extensive multi-wavelength observations of the 15 submillimetre-selected galaxies in the catalogue, from X-rays to radio. We discuss the main observational characteristics of faint submillimetre galaxies as a population, and consider their interpretation within the framework of our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.

Deep near-infrared spectroscopy of submillimetre-selected galaxies
We present the results of deep near-infrared spectroscopy of seven submillimetre-selected galaxies from the SCUBA 8-mJy and CUDSS surveys. These galaxies were selected because they are too faint to be accessible to optical spectrographs on large telescopes. We obtain a spectroscopic redshift for one object, and likely redshifts for two more, based on a combination of marginal emission line dete...
متن کاملMillimetric properties of gamma ray burst host galaxies
We present millimetre (mm) and submillimetre (submm) photometry of a sample of five host galaxies of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs), obtained using the MAMBO2 and SCUBA bolometer arrays respectively. These observations were obtained as part of an ongoing project to investigate the status of GRBs as indicators of star formation. Our targets include two of the most unusual GRB host galaxies, selected as...
متن کاملSubmillimetre-wave gravitational lenses and cosmology
One of the most direct routes for investigating the geometry of the Universe is provided by the numbers of strongly magnified gravitationally lensed galaxies as compared with those that are either weakly magnified or de-magnified. In the submillimetre waveband the relative abundance of strongly lensed galaxies is expected to be larger as compared with the optical or radio wavebands, both in the...
متن کاملA multiply - imaged , submillimetre - selected ULIRG in a galaxy group at z ∼ 2 .
We present observations of a remarkable submillimetre-selected galaxy, SMMJ16359+6612. This distant galaxy lies behind the core of a massive cluster of galaxies, A 2218, and is gravitationally lensed by the foreground cluster into three discrete images which were identified in deep submillimetre maps of the cluster core at both 450 and 850μm. Subsequent follow-up using deep optical and near-inf...
متن کاملDASTWAR: a tool for completeness estimation in magnitude-size plane
Today, great observatories around the world, devote a substantial amount of observing time to sky surveys. The resulted images are inputs of source finder modules. These modules search for the target objects and provide us with source catalogues. We sought to quantify the ability of detection tools in recovering faint galaxies regularly encountered in deep surveys. Our approach was based on com...
