LIMITED SAMPLE. “One of the most important uses of CO-line observations of distant submm galaxies found in continuum surveys is their ability to confirm an identification absolutely, by tying together an optical and submm redshift at the position of the galaxy. So far this has been achieved for only three submm galaxies.” https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

SCOPETIME. “A great deal of telescope time has been spent so far to detect and study submm-selected galaxies in other wavebands.” https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

PROBING STRUCTURE. “Emission from molecular rotation and atomic fine-structure transition lines can be used to diagnose physical conditions within molecular clouds and photodissociation regions, and to trace out the velocity structure within.” https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

NOISE AT IMAGE SCALE. “Source confusion, the contribution to noise in an image due to the superimposed signals from faint unresolved sources clustering on the scale of the observing beam, is a significant problem for observations in the submm waveband.” https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

LUMINOUS GALAXIES. “Only a very small fraction of the total far-IR luminosity from all low-redshift galaxies comes from galaxies more luminous than 10(12) L, yet as discussed above in the context of the submm-wave counts, these luminous galaxies are much more numerous at high redshifts, by a factor of several hundred.” (IR = infra red). https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

MAJOR DRIVER. “The authors illustrate how and why sexual selection, though restricted to one sex and opposed in the other, is one of the strongest and fastest of all evolutionary forces.” https://lnkd.in/dD4m6ZkT View in LinkedIn

STARTING MAPPING. “Well over 100 submm-selected galaxies are now known, although their redshifts and detailed astrophysical properties are very largely uncertain.” https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

EARLY DUSTY GALAXIES. “The surface density of submm galaxies in some of these fields is about an order of magnitude greater than that in a typical blank field, indicating a significant overdensity of sources. This is likely due to some radio galaxies being found in high-density regions of biased high-redshift galaxy formation, which are possibly `protoclusters' - rich clusters of galaxies in the process of formation.” https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

INTER-RELATED. “It is not possible to separate the modeling of the evolution of the population of submm galaxies fully from studies of the nature of the galaxies themselves.” https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn
