We present the initial results of an ongoing survey with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array targeting the CO(J = 1–0) transition in a sample of 30 submillimeter-selected, dusty star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at z = 2–5 with existing mid-J CO detection...

The James Webb Space Telescope Time-Domain Field (JWST-TDF) is an ∼14′ diameter field near the North Ecliptic Pole that will be targeted by one of the JWST Guaranteed Time Observations programs. Here, we describe our James Clerk Maxwell Telescope SCU... Read More about The JCMT SCUBA-2 Survey of the James Webb Space Telescope North Ecliptic Pole Time-Domain Field.

An ALMA/NOEMA survey of the molecular gas properties of high-redshift star-forming galaxies (2021)
Journal Article
Birkin, J. E., Weiss, A., Wardlow, J., Smail, I., Swinbank, A., Dudzevičiūtė, U., …van der Werf, P. (2021). An ALMA/NOEMA survey of the molecular gas properties of high-redshift star-forming galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 501(3), 3926-3950. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa3862

We have used ALMA and NOEMA to study the molecular gas reservoirs in 61 ALMA-identified submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) in the COSMOS, UDS, and ECDFS fields. We detect 12CO (⁠Jup= 2–5) emission lines in 50 sources, and [C I](3P1 − 3P0) emission in eigh...

An ALMA survey of the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey UKIDSS/UDS field: halo masses for submillimetre galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 504(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab714

We present an analysis of the spatial clustering of a large sample of high-resolution, interferometically identified, submillimetre galaxies (SMGs). We measure the projected cross-correlation function of ∼350 SMGs in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep-Survey Fiel...

Journal Article

FIR-luminous [C II] Emitters in the ALMA-SCUBA-2 COSMOS Survey (AS2COSMOS): The Nature of Submillimeter Galaxies in a 10 Comoving Megaparsec-scale Structure at z \ensuremath\sim 4.6. Astrophysical Journal, 907(2), Article 122. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/abcc72

We report the discovery of a 10 comoving megaparsec (cMpc)-scale structure traced by massive submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at z ∼ 4.6. These galaxies are selected from an emission line search of ALMA Band 7 observations targeting 184 luminous submill...

An ALMA survey of the S2CLS UDS field: optically invisible submillimetre galaxies (2021)
Journal Article

We analyse a robust sample of 30 near-infrared-faint (KAB > 25.3, 5σ) submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) selected from a 0.96 deg2 field to investigate their properties and the cause of their faintness in optical/near-infrared wavebands. Our analysis expl... Read More about An ALMA survey of the S2CLS UDS field: optically invisible submillimetre galaxies.

We construct a SCUBA-2 450 μm map in the COSMOS field that covers an area of 300 arcmin2 and reaches a 1σ noise level of 0.65 mJy in the deepest region. We extract 256 sources detected at 450 μm with signal-to-noise ratios >4.0 and analyze the physic... Read More about SCUBA-2 Ultra Deep Imaging EAO Survey (Studies). III.
