We use the SCUBA-2 submillimeter camera mounted on the JCMT to obtain extremely deep number counts at 450 and 850um. We combine data on two cluster lensing fields, A1689 and A370, and three blank fields, CDF-N, CDF-S, and COSMOS, to measure…
The Sub-millimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) at the JCMT employs a chopping and nodding observation technique to remove variations in the atmospheric signal and improve the long term stability of the instrument. In order to…
Using the submm array camera SCUBA on the 15-m JCMT it is now possible to conduct unbiased submm surveys and quantify the level of star-formation activity in the young Universe by observing the rest-frame FIR thermal emission from dust in…
We present deep number counts at 450 and 850 $\mu$m using the SCUBA-2 camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. We combine data for six lensing cluster fields and three blank fields to measure the counts over a wide flux range at each…
Using the SCUBA instrument on the JCMT, we have made a submillimeter mosaic at 850um of a subarea of the Spitzer First Look Survey (FLS). Our image covers the central 151 square arcmin of the northern extragalactic Continuous Viewing Zone…
We have used the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) detector on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) to measure bright sub-mm emission associated with a recently discovered extensive (>100/h kpc) and highly luminous,…
We present the SCUBA Legacy Catalogues, two comprehensive sets of continuum maps (and catalogues) using data at 850 microns and 450 microns of the various astronomical objects obtained with the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array…
We present maps, source lists, and number counts from the largest, unbiassed, extragalactic sub-mm survey so far undertaken with the SCUBA camera on the JCMT. Our maps cover 260 sq. arcmin, to a noise level S(850)=2.5 mJy/beam. We have…
We present an 11 X 11 arcminute map centred on the Hubble Deep Field taken at 850 microns with the SCUBA camera on the JCMT. The map has an average one-sigma sensitivity to point sources of about 2.3 mJy and thus probes the brighter end of…
Performing ground-based submillimetre observations is a difficult task as the measurements are subject to absorption and emission from water vapour in the Earth's atmosphere and time variation in weather and instrument stability. Removing…
We present physical properties [redshifts (z), star-formation rates (SFRs) and stellar masses (Mstar)] of bright (S850>4mJy) submm galaxies in the ~2deg2 COSMOS and UDS fields selected with SCUBA-2/JCMT. We complete the galaxy…
FIREBall-2 is a stratospheric balloon-borne 1-m telescope coupled to a UV multi-object slit spectrograph designed to map the faint UV emission surrounding z~0.7 galaxies and quasars through their Lyman-alpha line emission. This…
We present sensitive 850$\mu$m imaging of the COSMOS field using 640hr of new and archival observations taken with SCUBA-2 at the East Asian Observatory's James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. The SCUBA-2 COSMOS survey (S2COSMOS) achieves a median…
We present submillimetre continuum observations of a sample of some of the highest redshift quasars currently known, made with the SCUBA bolometer array on the JCMT. The median redshift of the sample is 5.3. Two z>5 objects are strong (6…
The SCUBA-2 Ambitious Sky Survey (SASSy) is composed of shallow 850-$\umu$m imaging using the Sub-millimetre Common-User Bolometer Array 2 (SCUBA-2) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. Here we describe the extraction of a catalogue of…

The absolute flux calibration of the Mid-Infrared Instrument Imaging and Coronagraphy is based on observations of multiple stars taken during the first 2.5 years of JWST operations. The observations were designed to ensure that the flux…
The first deep blank-field 450um map (1-sigma~1.3mJy) from the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey (S2CLS), conducted with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) is presented. Our map covers 140 arcmin^2 of the COSMOS field, in the footprint…
