Journal Article
Ivison, R., Lewis, A., Weiss, A., Arumugam, V., Simpson, J., Holland, W., …Wardlow, J. (2016). The Space Density of Luminous Dusty Star-forming Galaxies at z > 4: SCUBA-2 and LABOCA Imaging of Ultrared Galaxies from Herschel-ATLAS. Astrophysical Journal, 832(1), Article 78. https://doi.org/10.3847/0004-637x/832/1/78

Until recently, only a handful of dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) were known at z > 4, most of them significantly amplified by gravitational lensing. Here, we have increased the number of such DSFGs substantially, selecting galaxies from the uni...

The properties of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) that are fainter than the confusion limit of blank-field single-dish surveys (S850≲ 2 mJy) are poorly constrained. Using a newly developed color selection technique, Optical-Infrared Triple Color (OIRTC... Read More about Faint Submillimeter Galaxies Identified through Their Optical/Near-infrared Colors. I.
