Abstract:

We identify 17 possible 8.0 μm selected counterparts to the submillimeter galaxies in the CUDSS 14 hour field, derived from deep imaging carried out with the IRAC and MIPS instruments aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. Ten of the 17 counterparts are not the same as those previously identified at shorter wavelengths. We argue that 8.0 μm selection offers a better means for identifying counterparts to submillimeter galaxies than near-infrared or optical selection. Based on the panchromatic spectral energy distributions (SEDs), most counterparts appear to be powered by ongoing star formation. Power-law fits to the SEDs suggest that five objects in the 8.0 μm selected counterpart sample harbor dominant active galactic nuclei (AGNs; a sixth object is identified as a possible AGN). The 3.6-8.0 μm colors of the infrared-selected counterparts are significantly redder than the general IRAC galaxy population in the CUDSS 14 hour field. © 2006. The American Astronomical Society.

Extragalactic integral field spectroscopy on the Gemini telescopes

New Astronomy Reviews 50:4-5 (2006) 422-425

Authors:

A Bunker, J Smith, I Parry, R Ben Metcalf, R Sharp, R de Grijs, R Bower, M Swinbank

Abstract:

We have undertaken a programme on the Gemini 8-m telescopes to demonstrate the power of integral field spectroscopy, using the CIRPASS instrument in the near-infrared. Here, we present some of our results from 3D spectroscopy of extra-galactic objects: mapping the Hα velocity field in a z ≈ 1 disc galaxy; exploring dark matter sub-structure through observations of an Einstein cross gravitational lens; and the star formation time-scales of young massive clusters in a starburst galaxy. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
