We report MIPS photometry of 20 radio-loud quasars and galaxies at 24 and 70 um (and of five at 160 um). We combine this sample with additional sources detected in the far infrared by IRAS and ISO for a total of 47 objects, including 23…
We present X-ray data for a complete sample of 44 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs), obtained with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. These are the X-ray observations of the high luminosity portion of the Great Observatory All-sky LIRG Survey…
Recent observations have successfully detected UV-bright and infrared-bright galaxies in the epoch of reionization. However, the origin of their radiative properties has not been understood yet. Combining cosmological hydrodynamic…
We present near-infrared spectroscopy and narrow-band imaging at the wavelength of redshifted H-alpha for a sample of 30 high-redshift, far-infrared luminous galaxies. This sample is selected from surveys in the sub-millimeter, millimeter…
New surveys with the Spitzer space telescope identify distant star-forming and active galaxies by their strong emission at far-infrared wavelengths, which provides strong constraints on these galaxies' bolometric energy. Using early results…
We present a catalog of mid-infrared (MIR) spectra of 150 infrared (IR) luminous galaxies in the Spitzer extragalactic first look survey obtained with IRS on board Spitzer. The sample is selected to be brighter than ~0.9 mJy at 24 micron…
We present near-infrared images obtained with the HST NICMOS camera for a sample of 9 luminous (LIGs: L_IR (8-1000 microns) >~ 10^11 L_sun) and 15 ultra-luminous (ULIGS: L_IR >~ 10^12 L_sun) infrared galaxies. The sample includes…
Recently acquired near-IR imaging (J and Ks) of low surface brightness galaxies is presented. The data includes 52 galaxies with log[MHI/Msolar] < 9.0 and 58 galaxies with log[MHI/Msolar] > 9.5. These galaxies have been selected from the…
We report the detection of a significant excess in the surface density of far-infrared sources from the Herschel-Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) within ~1 Mpc of the centres of 66 optically-selected clusters of galaxies…
Star-forming galaxies at high redshift show anomalous values of infrared excess, which can be described only by extremizing the existing relations between the shape of their ultraviolet continuum emission and their infrared-to-ultraviolet…
Using the deep multi-wavelength MUSYC, GOODS, and FIRES surveys we construct a stellar mass-limited sample of galaxies at 2<z<3. The sample comprises 294 galaxies with M>10^11 Solar masses distributed over four independent fields with a…
We make use of sensitive (9.3 microJy/beam RMS) 1.2mm-continuum observations from the ASPECS ALMA large program of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) to probe dust-enshrouded star formation from 1362 Lyman-break galaxies spanning the…
Deep near-infrared and optical imaging surveys in the field reveal a curious population of galaxies that are infrared-bright (I-K>4), yet with relatively blue optical colors (V-I<2). Their surface density, several per square arcminute at…
We present predictions for the clustering of galaxies selected by their emission at far infra-red (FIR) and sub-millimetre wavelengths. This includes the first predictions for the effect of clustering biases induced by the coarse angular…
We study the surface photometry for 13 single-nucleus ultraluminous IRAS galaxies (ULIRGs), selected from a parent sample of 58 galaxies obtained in a Hubble Space Telescope snapshot survey. We find that these galaxies can be classified…
A cosmologically significant population of very luminous high-redshift galaxies has recently been discovered at submm wavelengths. Advances in submm detector technologies have opened this new window on the distant Universe. Here we discuss…
Infrared emission has been detected from normal elliptical galaxies and from clusters of galaxies at 60um and 100um with the IRAS satellite. In both cases, the emission has the characteristics of cool dust with a temperature near 30K. For…
The luminosity functions at z < 4 - 5 suggest that most galaxies have a relatively low stellar mass (logM_star = 10) and a low dust attenuation (A_FUV = 1.0). The physical properties of these objects are quite homogeneous. We used an…
Despite the plethora of deep (sub-mJy) radio surveys there remains considerable doubt as to the exact nature of the galaxies contributing to the source counts. Current evidence suggests that starformation in moderately luminous 'normal'…
A broad continuum excess in the near-infrared, peaking in the rest-frame at 2-5 micron, is detected in a spectroscopic sample of 88 galaxies at 0.5<z<2.0 taken from the Gemini Deep Deep Survey. Line emission from polycyclic aromatic…
