The extended counterpart of submm source Lockman 850.1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The IRAM Plateau de Bure mm interferometer and deep K-band imaging have been used to identify the brightest submm source detected in the Lockman field of the UK 8 mJy SCUBA survey. The near infrared counterpart is an extended (20–30 kpc), clumpy, and extremely red object. The spectral energy distribution suggests it to be a dusty star forming object at a redshift of about 3 (2–4). Its star formation rate and nearinfrared properties are consistent with Lockman 850.1 being a massive elliptical in formation.

An Accurate Position for Hdf 850.1: the Brightest Submillimeter Source in the Hubble Deep Field-north
We report a highly significant Submillimeter Array (SMA) detection of the prototypical submillimeter source HDF 850.1, which is the brightest submillimeter source in the Hubble Deep Field-North proper. The detection yields an extremely precise position of RA(2000)=12h 36m 51.99s and Dec(2000)=+62 12 25.83 with a 1σ positional uncertainty of 0.17. The position is consistent with the location of ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution radio observations of submillimetre galaxies
We have produced sensitive, high-resolution radio maps of 12 submillimetre (submm) galaxies (SMGs) in the Lockman Hole using combined Multi-Element Radio-Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) and Very Large Array (VLA) data at a frequency of 1.4 GHz. Integrating for 350 hr yielded an r.m.s. noise of 6.0μJy beam and a resolution of 0.2–0.5 arcsec. For the first time, wide-field data from the tw...
متن کاملRadio Constraints on the Identifications and Redshifts of Submm Galaxies
We present radio maps from the Very Large Array (VLA) for 16 sources detected in a sub-millimeter (submm) survey of the distant Universe. Our deep VLA 1.4-GHz maps allow us to identify radio counterparts or place stringent limits (< 20 Jy in the source plane) on the radio flux of the submm sources. We compare the spectral indices of our sources between 850 m and 1.4 GHz to empirical and theoret...
متن کاملA catalogue of μJy radio sources in northern legacy fields
We present catalogues of faint 1.4-GHz radio sources from extremely-deep Very Large Array pointings in the Lockman Hole, the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF-N) and ELAIS N2. Our analysis of the HDF-N data has produced maps that are significantly deeper than those previously published and we have used these to search for counterparts to submm sources. For each of the fields we have derived normalis...
متن کاملColour matters: the effects of lensing on the positional offsets between optical and submillimetre galaxies in Herschel ⋆-ATLAS
We report an unexpected variation in the positional offset distributions between Herschel -ATLAS sub-millimetre (submm) sources and their optical associations, depending on both 250-μm signal-to-noise ratio and 250/350-μm colour. We show that redder and brighter submm sources have optical associations with a broader distribution of positional offsets than would be expected if these offsets were...
