A total of 106 sources (>5σ) were uncovered at 850µm from an area of ~=150 arcmin2 in the centre of the COSMOS/UltraVISTA/Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) field, imaged to a typical depth of σ850~=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 determine the stellar masses of the majority of the galaxy identifications, enabling us to explore their location on the star formation rate:stellar mass (SFR:M*) plane. Crucially, our new deep 850-µm-selected sample reaches flux densities equivalent to SFR~=100M/yr, enabling us to confirm that sub-mm galaxies form the high-mass end of the 'main sequence' (MS) of star-forming galaxies at z>1.5 (with a mean specific SFR of sSFR=2.25±0.19Gyr-1 at z~=2.5). Our results are consistent with no significant flattening of the MS towards high masses at these redshifts. However, our results add to the growing evidence that average sSFR rises only slowly at high redshift, resulting in log10sSFR being an apparently simple linear function of the age of the Universe. Description: We used the deep 850um and 450um S2CLS imaging of the central ~=150arcmin2 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 2011ApJS..197...35G) imaging. The observations were taken with SCUBA-2 mounted on the JCMT between October 2011 and March 2013, reaching depths of σ850~=0.25mJy and σ450~=1.5mJy (Geach et al., 2013MNRAS.432...53G 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. τ225GHz<0.05), and to maximise depth the imaging was undertaken with a "daisy" mapping pattern (Bintley et al., 2014, SPIE, 9153, 3).

If the flag is 0 or 2, the final adopted redshift z becomes zLW, but no stellar mass can be calculated due to the absence of any optical-infrared photometry. Note (2): These include 11 redshifts from DR1 of the zCOSMOS redshift survey undertaken in the COSMOS field with the VIMOS spectrograph (Lilly et al., 2007, cat. J/ApJS/172/70), 2 redshifts obtained as a part of the 3D-HST observations of the COSMOS field (Brammer et al., 2012ApJS..200...13B 2012ApJS..200...13B; Skelton et al., 2014, Cat. J/ApJS/214/24) and 2 redshifts from the spectroscopic survey undertaken in the COSMOS field with DEIMOS spectrograph (PI: Jehan Kartheltepe). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History: From electronic version of the journal
