Abstract:High-redshift, luminous, dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) constrain the extremity of galaxy formation theories. The most extreme are discovered through follow-up on candidates in large area surveys. Here, we present extensive 850um SCUBA-2 follow-up observations of 188 red DSFG candidates from the Herschel Multitiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) Large Mode Survey, covering 274deg^2^. We detected 87% with a signal-to-noise ratio >3 at 850um. We introduce a new method for incorporating the confusion noise in our spectral energy distribution fitting by sampling correlated flux density fluctuations from a confusion limited map. The new 850um data provide a better constraint on the photometric redshifts of the candidates, with photometric

We selected the 200 brightest galaxies i.e. S_500_>63mJy, of the 477
Asboth+ (2016, J/MNRAS/462/1989) sources, and we observed a random
sub-set of 188 of them for 15min each using the DAISY pattern with the
SCUBA-2 camera at the JCMT. The observations were taken in semester
15B between 2015 July 31 and 2015 November 15 with an opacity at
225GHz between 0.05 and 0.12.
