Abstract:We investigate the properties of the galaxies selected from the deepest 850-{mu}m survey undertaken to date with (Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array 2) SCUBA-2 on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope as part of the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey. A total of 106 sources (>5{sigma}) were uncovered at 850{mu}m from an area of ~=150 arcmin^2^ in the centre of the COSMOS/UltraVISTA/Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) field, imaged to a typical depth of {sigma}_850_~=0.25mJy. We utilize the available multifrequency data to identify galaxy counterparts for 80 of these sources (75 per cent), and to establish the complete redshift distribution for this sample, yielding . We have also been able to ...(more)
Abstract: (hide)
We used the deep 850um and 450um S2CLS imaging of the central ~=150arcmin^2^ of the COSMOS/UltraVISTA field, coincident with the Spitzer SEDS (Ashby et al., 2013, Cat. J/ApJ/769/80) and HST CANDELS (Grogin et al., 2011ApJS..197...35G) imaging. The observations were taken with SCUBA-2 mounted on the JCMT between October 2011 and March 2013, reaching depths of {sigma}_850_~=0.25mJy and {sigma}_450_~=1.5mJy (Geach et al., 2013MNRAS.432...53G, Roseboom et al., 2013, Cat. J/MNRAS/436/430, Geach et al. 2016 in preparation). In order to enable effective 450um observations, only the very best/dryest conditions were used (i.e. {tau}_225GHz_<0.05), and to maximise depth the imaging was undertaken with a "daisy" mapping pattern (Bintley et al., 2014, SPIE, 9153, 3).
