Herschel unveils a puzzling uniformity of distant dusty galaxies
(2010-07-01)
The Herschel Space Observatory enables us to accurately measure the bolometric output of starburst galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN) by directly sampling the peak of their far-infrared (IR) emission. Here we examine ...
The HerMES SPIRE submillimeter local luminosity function
(2010-07-01)
Local luminosity functions are fundamental benchmarks for high-redshift galaxy formation and evolution studies as well as for models describing these processes. Determining the local luminosity function in the submillimeter ...
HerMES: Far infrared properties of known AGN in the HerMES fields
(2010-07-01)
Nuclear and starburst activity are known to often occur concomitantly. Herschel-SPIRE provides sampling of the far-infrared (FIR) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of type 1 and type 2 AGN, allowing for the separation ...
Herschel-ATLAS: Evolution of the 250 µm luminosity function out to z = 0.5
(2010)
We have determined the luminosity function of 250 μm-selected galaxies detected in the ~14 deg2 science demonstration region of the Herschel-ATLAS project out to a redshift of z = 0.5. Our findings very clearly show that ...
The detection of a population of submillimeter-bright, strongly lensed galaxies
(2010)
Gravitational lensing is a powerful astrophysical and cosmological probe and is particularly valuable at submillimeter wavelengths for the study of the statistical and individual properties of dusty star-forming galaxies. ...
Herschel-ATLAS: Extragalactic number counts from 250 to 500 microns
(2010)
Aims. The Herschel-ATLAS survey (H-ATLAS) will be the largest area survey to be undertaken by the Herschel Space Observatory. It will cover 550 sq. deg. of extragalactic sky at wavelengths of 100, 160, 250, 350 and 500 μm ...
Herschel-ATLAS: the far-infrared-radio correlation at z <0.5
(2010)
We use data from the Herschel-ATLAS to investigate the evolution of the far-infrared–radio correlation over the redshift range 0 < z < 0.5. Using the total far-infrared luminosity of all >5σ sources in the Herschel-ATLAS ...
Herschel-ATLAS: Dust temperature and redshift distribution of SPIRE and PACS detected sources using submillimetre colours
(2010)
We present colour–colour diagrams of detected sources in the Herschel-ATLAS science demonstration field from 100 to 500 μm using both PACS and SPIRE. We fit isothermal modified black bodies to the spectral energy distribution ...
A search for debris disks in the Herschel-ATLAS
(2010)
Aims. We aim to demonstrate that the Herschel-ATLAS (H-ATLAS) is suitable for a blind and unbiased survey for debris disks by identifying candidate debris disks associated with main sequence stars in the initial science ...
Herschel-ATLAS: The angular correlation function of submillimetre galaxies at high and low redshift
(2010)
We present measurements of the angular correlation function of galaxies selected from the first field of the H-ATLAS survey. Careful removal of the background from galactic cirrus is essential, and currently dominates the ...
