Astrophysical Journal, 965(2), Article 108. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ad26f7

Sub/millimeter galaxies are a key population for the study of galaxy evolution because the majority of star formation at high redshifts occurred in galaxies deeply embedded in dust. To search for this population, we have performed an extensive survey...

Obscured star formation in clusters at z = 1.6–2.0: massive galaxy formation and the reversal of the star formation–density relation (2024)
Journal Article
Smail, I. (2024). Obscured star formation in clusters at z = 1.6–2.0: massive galaxy formation and the reversal of the star formation–density relation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 529(3), 2290-2308. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae692

Clusters of galaxies at z   1 are expected to be increasingly active sites of star formation. To test this, an 850 m survey was undertaken of eight clusters at z = 1.6–2.0 using SCUBA-2 on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. Mid-infrared properties w...
