Clusters of galaxies are effective gravitational lenses able to magnify background galaxies and making it possible to probe the fainter part of the galaxy population. Submillimeter galaxies, which are believed to be star-forming galaxies at…

Although starburst galaxies have relatively flat spectral energy distributions, their strong optical emission lines and near-UV continua make it very feasible to estimate their redshifts photometrically. In this work, I describe a…

We explore the epoch dependence of number density and star-formation rate for submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) found at 850 um. The study uses a sample of 38 SMG in the GOODS-N field, for which cross-waveband identifications have been obtained…

We present broad band imaging observations obtained with the ``peak up'' imagers of the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) at wavelengths of 16micron and 22micron for a number of sources detected primarily at submillimeter…

We present the complete submillimeter data for the Canada-UK Deep Submillimeter Survey (CUDSS) 3-hour field. The obeservations were taken with the Submillimeter Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope on…

One of the major goals of observational cosmology is to acquire empirical data that has the diagnostic power to develop the theoretical modelling of the high-redshift universe, ultimately leading to an accurate understanding of the…

We present SCUBA-2 and SMA follow-up observations of four candidate high redshift Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies, selected as sources with rising SEDs in the 250, 350 and 500$\mu$m Herschel SPIRE bands. Previous SMA observations showed no…

We present observations of the luminous population of high-redshift sub-mm galaxies taken at the OVRO Millimeter Array. Studies of sub-mm galaxies are vital to our understanding of the formation and early evolution of galaxies since this…

More than 150 galaxies have been detected in blank-field millimetre and sub-millimetre surveys. However the redshift distribution of sub-mm galaxies remains uncertain due to the difficulty in identifying their optical-IR counterparts, and…

This document summarizes the science cases related to cosmology studies with the MaunaKea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE), a highly-multiplexed (4332 fibers), wide FOV (1.5 sq deg), large aperture (11.25 m in diameter), optical/NIR (360nm to…

We present a new sub-mm Super-map in the HDF-North region (GOODS-North field), containing 40 statistically robust sources at 850 microns. This map contains additional data, and several new sources, including one of the brightest blank-sky…

We present a high-resolution millimetre interferometric image of the brightest SCUBA-selected galaxy from the Canada-UK deep SCUBA survey (CUDSS). We make a very clear detection at 1.3 mm, but fail to resolve any structure in the source.…

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 investigate the redshift dependence of the contribution to the extragalactic far-infrared/sub-millimeter background from galaxies detected by the Spitzer Space Telescope at 8um and 24um. Using seven-band optical to mid-infrared…

We present new results of a study of the sub-millimetre continuum emission from a sample of 9 radio galaxies and 4 radio-quiet quasars at redshifts $z = 0.75 - 4.26$. The observations were made at 800$\mu m$, using the single-element…

This paper describes a key submillimetre survey which we are currently conducting to address some of the outstanding questions in cosmology - how, at what epoch and over what period of time did massive galaxies form at high redshift? A…

We present structural parameters and morphological properties of faint 450-um selected submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) from the JCMT Large Program, STUDIES, in the COSMOS-CANDELS region. Their properties are compared to an 850um selected and…

We discuss how gamma-ray burst (GRB) optical afterglows and multiwavelength observations of their host galaxies can be used to obtain information about the relative amounts of star formation happening in optical and submillimetre galaxies.…

The nature of galaxies selected at submillimeter wavelengths (SMGs, S_850 > 3 mJy), some of the bolometrically most luminous objects at high redshifts, is still elusive. In particular their star formation histories and source of emission…
