Herschel-ATLAS : toward a sample of similar to 1000 strongly lensed galaxies
(2012-04-10)
While the selection of strongly lensed galaxies (SLGs) with 500 mu m flux density S-500 > 100 mJy has proven to be rather straightforward, for many applications it is important to analyze samples larger than the ones ...
Herschel -ATLAS/GAMA : a census of dust in optically selected galaxies from stacking at submillimetre wavelengths
(2012-04)
We use the Herschel-ATLAS survey to conduct the first large-scale statistical study of the submillimetre properties of optically selected galaxies. Using similar to 80 000 r-band selected galaxies from 126 deg2 of the GAMA ...
Selection constraints on high-redshift quasar searches in the VISTA Kilo-degree Infrared Galaxy survey
(2012-02)
The European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) is a 4-m class survey telescope for wide-field near-infrared imaging. VISTA is currently running a suite of six public ...
The likelihood ratio as a tool for radio continuum surveys with Square Kilometre Array precursor telescopes
(2012)
In this paper we investigate the performance of the likelihood ratio method as a tool for identifying optical and infrared counterparts to proposed radio continuum surveys with SKA precursor and pathfinder telescopes. We ...
The evolutionary connection between QSOs and SMGs: molecular gas in far-infrared luminous QSOs at z ~ 2.5
(2012)
We present IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer observations of the 12CO(3-2) emission from two far-infrared luminous QSOs at z ~ 2.5 selected from the Herschel-ATLAS survey. These far-infrared bright QSOs were selected to ...
Ultra steep spectrum radio sources in the Lockman Hole : SERVS identifications and redshift distribution at the faintest radio fluxes
(2011-12-20)
Ultra steep spectrum (USS) radio sources have been successfully used to select powerful radio sources at high redshifts (z greater than or similar to 2). Typically restricted to large-sky surveys and relatively bright radio ...
LOFAR and APERTIF Surveys of the Radio Sky : Probing Shocks and Magnetic Fields in Galaxy Clusters
(2011-12)
At very low frequencies, the new pan-European radio telescope LOFAR is opening the last unexplored window of the electromagnetic spectrum for astrophysical studies. The revolutionary APERTIF-phased arrays that are about ...
The environment and characteristics of low-redshift galaxies detected by the Herschel-ATLAS
(2011-11-01)
We investigate the ultraviolet and optical properties and environment of low-redshift galaxies detected in the Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) science demonstration data. We use the Sloan Digital ...
Herschel -ATLAS : Rapid evolution of dust in galaxies over the last 5 billion years
(2011-10-01)
We present the first direct and unbiased measurement of the evolution of the dust mass function of galaxies over the past 5 billion years of cosmic history using data from the Science Demonstration Phase of the ...
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 ...
