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 ...
The first release of data from the Herschel ATLAS: the SPIRE images
(2011-07)
We have reduced the data taken with the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) photometer on board the Herschel Space Observatory in the Science Demonstration Phase (SDP) of the Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz ...
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, ...
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 ...
