The Herschel PEP/HerMES luminosity function - I : Probing the evolution of PACS selected Galaxies to z sime 4
(2013-06-01)
We exploit the deep and extended far-IR data sets (at 70, 100 and 160 μm) of the Herschel Guaranteed Time Observation (GTO) PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP) Survey, in combination with the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic ...
The Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey: HerMES
(2012-08-01)
The Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) is a legacy programme designed to map a set of nested fields totalling ∼380 deg2. Fields range in size from 0.01 to ∼20 deg 2, using the Herschel-Spectral and ...
The suppression of star formation by powerful active galactic nuclei
(2012-05)
The old, red stars that constitute the bulges of galaxies, and the massive black holes at their centres, are the relics of a period in cosmic history when galaxies formed stars at remarkable rates and active galactic nuclei ...
The Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey : SPIRE-mm photometric redshifts
(2012-02-01)
We investigate the potential of submm–mm and submm–mm–radio photometric redshifts using a sample of mm-selected sources as seen at 250, 350 and 500μm by the SPIRE instrument on Herschel. From a sample of 63 previously ...
Modeling of the Hermes submillimeter source lensed by a dark matter dominated foreground group of galaxies
(2011-09-10)
We present the results of a gravitational lensing analysis of the bright z(s) = 2.957 submillimeter galaxy (SMG) HERMES found in the Herschel/SPIRE science demonstration phase data from the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic ...
HerMES: SPIRE emission from radio-selected active galactic nuclei
(2011-05)
We examine the rest-frame far-infrared emission from powerful radio sources with 1.4-GHz luminosity densities of 25 < log(L-1.4/W Hz-1) < 26.5 in the extragalactic Spitzer First Look Survey field. We combine Herschel/SPIRE ...
Submillimetre galaxies reside in dark matter haloes with masses greater than 3 x 10(11) solar masses
(2011)
The extragalactic background light at far-infrared wavelengths(1-3) comes from optically faint, dusty, star-forming galaxies in the Universe with star formation rates of a few hundred solar masses per year(4). These faint, ...
Discovery of a multiply lensed submillimeter galaxy in early HerMES Herschel/SPIRE data
(2011)
We report the discovery of a bright (f (250 μm)>400 mJy), multiply lensed submillimeter galaxy HERMES J105751.1+573027 in Herschel/SPIRE Science Demonstration Phase data from the HerMES project. Interferometric 880 μm ...
SED fitting of nearby galaxies in the Herschel Reference Survey
(Societe Francaise d'Astronomie et d'Astrophysique, 2010-12-01)
We compute UV to radio continuum spectral energy distributions of 51 nearby galaxies recently observed with SPIRE onboard Herschel and present infrared colours (in the 25-500 μm spectral range). SPIRE data of normal galaxies ...
The Herschel Multi-Tiered Extragalactic Survey: source extraction and cross-identifications in confusion-dominated SPIRE images
(2010-11-01)
We present the cross-identification and source photometry techniques used to process Herschel SPIRE imaging taken as part of the Herschel Multi-Tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES). Cross-identifications are performed in ...
