We present bright galaxy number counts in five broad bands ($u', g', r', i', z'$) from imaging data taken during the commissioning phase of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The counts are derived from two independent stripes of imaging…
SCUBA-2, which replaces SCUBA (the Submillimeter Common User Bolometer Array) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in 2006, is a large-format bolometer array for submillimeter astronomy. Unlike previous detectors which have used…
It is often suggested that the distant galaxies recently identified in 850 micron surveys with the SCUBA bolometer array on the JCMT Telescope are high-redshift analogues to local ultraluminous infrared galaxies, based on their similar…
We present extensive observations of a sample of distant, submm galaxies detected in the field of the massive cluster lens, A1835, using SCUBA. Taken in conjunction with earlier observations of other submm-selected sources (Ivison et al.…
The advent of sensitive sub-mm array cameras now allows a proper census of dust-enshrouded massive star-formation in very distant galaxies, previously hidden activity to which even the deepest optical images are insensitive. We present the…
A follow-up survey using the Submillimetre High-Angular Resolution Camera (SHARC-II) at 350 microns has been carried out to map the regions around several 850 micron-selected sources from the Submillimetre HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey…
Using the filled bolometer array SHARC-II on the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO), we have obtained deep (rms ~ 15mJy/beam), high-quality 350 micron maps of five of the most luminous high-z radio galaxies known. In all cases the…
Deep sub-millimetre observations using SCUBA are presented of the central regions of four high redshift clusters which have been extensively studied optically: CL0023+0423 (z=0.84), J0848+4453 (z=1.27), CL1604+4304 (z=0.90) and CL1604+4321…
A population of distant dusty galaxies emitting in the submillimetre waveband has recently been detected using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). This population can be…
We present new results from the SCUBA Local Universe Galaxy Survey, the first large statistical submillimetre survey of the local Universe. Following our initial survey of a sample of 104 IRAS-selected galaxies we now present the results of…
We present the SCUBA-2 850 ${\mu}m$ component of JINGLE, the new JCMT large survey for dust and gas in nearby galaxies, which with 193 galaxies is the largest targeted survey of nearby galaxies at 850 ${\mu}m$. We provide details of our…
We present a new semi-empirical model for the dust continuum number counts of galaxies at 1.1 millimeter and 850 \micron. Our approach couples an observationally motivated model for the stellar mass and SFR distribution of galaxies with…
We present predictions for the angular correlation function and redshift distribution for SHADES, the SCUBA HAlf-Degree Extragalactic Survey, which will yield a sample of around 300 sub-mm sources in the 850 micron waveband in two separate…
We investigate what we can learn about galaxy formation and evolution from the data which will be obtained by the forthcoming large submillimeter/millimeter facilities, mainly by the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE) and the…
We present submillimetre (SCUBA) photometry of a sample of eight high-redshift (2.5 < z < 3.5) radio quasars from two redshift surveys: the TEXOX-1000, or TOOT, survey; and the 7C Redshift Survey (7CRS). Unlike the powerful high-redshift…
We carried out extremely sensitive Submillimeter Array (SMA) 340 GHz continuum imaging on two submillimeter galaxies (SMGs): GOODS 850-11 and GOODS 850-13. The observations reach sub-mJy rms sensitivities and, interestingly, resolve both…
Obtaining robust galaxy number counts is crucial for understanding galaxy evolution, and submillimetre counts in particular have proven valuable for revising subgrid physics models in cosmological simulations. In confusion-limited surveys,…
We present a multiwavelength analysis of 850 $\mu$m-selected SMGs (deblended S$_{\rm 850}\gtrsim$ 1mJy) in the SSA22 field, where our deepest JCMT/SCUBA-2 observations reach a sensitivity of $\sigma_{850}\sim$ 0.80mJy beam$^{-1}$. Using…
We present a comparison of SCUBA-2 850-$\mu$m and Herschel 70--500-$\mu$m observations of the L1495 filament in the Taurus Molecular Cloud with the goal of characterising the SCUBA-2 Gould Belt Survey (GBS) data set. We identify and…
We present a submillimetre survey of seven high-z galaxy clusters (0.64<z<1.0) using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) at 850 and 450 um. The targets, of similar richness and redshift, are selected from the Red-sequence…
