We developed, characterized, and verified an alignment procedure for the DESHIMA 2.0 instrument, an ultra wide-band spectrometer operating between 200--400 GHz, at the ASTE telescope. To this end, we mounted the warm optics, consisting of a…
Finding high-redshift (z>>4) dusty star-forming galaxies is extremely challenging. It has recently been suggested that millimeter selections may be the best approach, since the negative K-correction makes galaxies at a given far-infrared…
A complete census of dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) at early epochs is necessary to constrain the obscured contribution to the cosmic star formation rate density (CSFRD), however DSFGs beyond $z \sim 4$ are both rare and hard to…
