The Large Apex Bolometer camera survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (2009)
Journal Article
Weiß, A., Kovács, A., Coppin, K., Greve, T., Walter, F., Smail, I., …van der Werf, P. (2009). The Large Apex Bolometer camera survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South. Astrophysical Journal, 707(2), 1201-1216. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/707/2/1201

We present a sensitive 870 μm survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS) combining 310 hr of observing time with the Large Apex BOlometer Camera (LABOCA) on the APEX telescope. The LABOCA ECDFS Submillimetre Survey (LESS) covers the full... Read More about The Large Apex Bolometer camera survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South.

Mid-infrared spectroscopy of submillimeter galaxies : extended star formation in massive high-redshift galaxies (2009)
Journal Article
Menéndez-Delmestre, K., Blain, A., Smail, I., Alexander, D., Chapman, S., Armus, L., …Teplitz, H. (2009). Mid-infrared spectroscopy of submillimeter galaxies : extended star formation in massive high-redshift galaxies. Astrophysical Journal, 699(1), 667-685. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/699/1/667

We used the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) to study the mid-IR properties and investigate the energetics of 24 Submillimeter Galaxies (SMGs). This is the largest sample of SMGs observed with Spitzer IRS and covers the full extent of properties o...

A mid-infrared imaging survey of submillimeter-selected galaxies with the Spitzer space telescope (2009)
Journal Article
Hainline, L., Blain, A., Smail, I., Frayer, D., Chapman, S., Ivison, R., & Alexander, D. (2009). A mid-infrared imaging survey of submillimeter-selected galaxies with the Spitzer space telescope. Astrophysical Journal, 699(2), 1610-1632. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/699/2/1610

We present Spitzer-IRAC and MIPS mid-IR observations of a sample of 73 radio-detected submillimeter-selected galaxies (SMGs) with spectroscopic redshifts, the largest such sample published to date. From our data, we find that IRAC colors of SMGs are... Read More about A mid-infrared imaging survey of submillimeter-selected galaxies with the Spitzer space telescope.

The Chandra Deep protocluster survey : Lyα blobs are powered by heating, not cooling (2009)
Journal Article
Geach, J., Alexander, D., Lehmer, B., Smail, I., Matsuda, Y., Chapman, S., …Basu-Zych, A. (2009). The Chandra Deep protocluster survey : Lyα blobs are powered by heating, not cooling. Astrophysical Journal, 700(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/700/1/1

We present the results of a 400 ks Chandra survey of 29 extended Lyα emitting nebulae (Lyα Blobs, LABs) in the z = 3.09 protocluster in the SS A22 field. We detect luminous X-ray counterparts in five LABs, implying a large fraction of active galactic...

Detection of Far-Infrared and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission from the Cosmic Eye: Probing the Dust and Star Formation of Lyman Break Galaxies (2009)
Journal Article
Siana, B., Smail, I., Swinbank, A., Richard, J., Teplitz, H., Coppin, K., …Edge, A. (2009). Detection of Far-Infrared and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission from the Cosmic Eye: Probing the Dust and Star Formation of Lyman Break Galaxies. Astrophysical Journal, 698(2), 1273-1281. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/698/2/1273

We report the results of a Spitzer infrared (IR) study of the Cosmic Eye, a strongly lensed, L*UV Lyman break galaxy (LBG) at z = 3.074. We obtained Spitzer mid-IR spectroscopy as well as MIPS 24 and 70 μm photometry. The Eye is detected with high si...
