A deep ALMA image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stw3088 Bibcode: 2017MNRAS.466..861D

Ivison, R. J.; Scott, D.; van Kampen, E. +36 more

We present the results of the first, deep Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) imaging covering the full ≃4.5 arcmin2 of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) imaged with Wide Field Camera 3/IR on HST. Using a 45-pointing mosaic, we have obtained a homogeneous 1.3-mm image reaching σ1.3 ≃ 35 µJy, at a resolution of ≃0.7 a…

Evolution of Interstellar Medium, Star Formation, and Accretion at High Redshift
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/aa61a0 Bibcode: 2017ApJ...837..150S

Aussel, H.; Ivison, R. J.; Ilbert, O. +20 more

ALMA observations of the long wavelength dust continuum are used to estimate the interstellar medium (ISM) masses in a sample of 708 galaxies at z = 0.3 to 4.5 in the COSMOS field. The galaxy sample has known far-infrared luminosities and, hence, star formation rates (SFRs) and stellar masses ({M}* ) from the optical-infrared spectrum f…

A Herschel/PACS Far-infrared Line Emission Survey of Local Luminous Infrared Galaxies
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/aa81d7 Bibcode: 2017ApJ...846...32D

Sanders, D. B.; Surace, J. A.; Inami, H. +20 more

We present an analysis of [O I]63, [O III]88, [N II]122, and [C II]158 far-infrared (FIR) fine-structure line observations obtained with Herschel/PACS, for ∼240 local luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) in the Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey. We find pronounced declines ("deficits") of line-to-FIR…

The VLA-COSMOS 3 GHz Large Project: The infrared-radio correlation of star-forming galaxies and AGN to z ≲ 6
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201629430 Bibcode: 2017A&A...602A...4D

Bondi, M.; Berta, S.; Magnelli, B. +23 more

We examine the behaviour of the infrared-radio correlation (IRRC) over the range 0 <z ≲ 6 using new, highly sensitive 3 GHz observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and infrared data from the Herschel Space Observatory in the 2 deg2 COSMOS field. We distinguish between objects where emission is believed to arise so…

Deriving a multivariate αCO conversion function using the [C II]/CO (1-0) ratio and its application to molecular gas scaling relations
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx1556 Bibcode: 2017MNRAS.470.4750A

Genzel, R.; Sturm, E.; Tacconi, L. J. +17 more

We present Herschel PACS observations of the [C II] 158 µm emission line in a sample of 24 intermediate mass (9 < log M*/M < 10) and low metallicity (0.4 < Z/Z < 1.0) galaxies from the xCOLD GASS survey. In combination with IRAM CO (1-0) measurements, we establish scaling relations between integ…

The extragalactic background light revisited and the cosmic photon-photon opacity
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201629684 Bibcode: 2017A&A...603A..34F

Franceschini, Alberto; Rodighiero, Giulia

Context. In addition to its relevant astrophysical and cosmological significance, the extragalactic background light (EBL) is a fundamental source of opacity for cosmic high energy photons, as well as a limitation for the propagation of high-energy particles in the Universe.
Aims: We review our previously published determinations of the EBL p…

The impact of clustering and angular resolution on far-infrared and millimeter continuum observations
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201730866 Bibcode: 2017A&A...607A..89B

Daddi, Emanuele; Béthermin, Matthieu; Wu, Hao-Yi +7 more

Follow-up observations at high-angular resolution of bright submillimeter galaxies selected from deep extragalactic surveys have shown that the single-dish sources are comprised of a blend of several galaxies. Consequently, number counts derived from low- and high-angular-resolution observations are in tension. This demonstrates the importance of …

The VLA-COSMOS 3 GHz Large Project: Multiwavelength counterparts and the composition of the faint radio population
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201630223 Bibcode: 2017A&A...602A...2S

Bondi, M.; Berta, S.; Ilbert, O. +18 more

We study the composition of the faint radio population selected from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array Cosmic Evolution Survey (VLA-COSMOS) 3 GHz Large Project, which is a radio continuum survey performed at 10 cm wavelength. The survey covers a 2.6 square degree area with a mean rms of 2.3 µJy/beam, cataloging 10 830 sources above 5σ, and…

Martin, P. G.; Natoli, P.; Paladini, R. +83 more

Hi-GAL (Herschel InfraRed Galactic Plane Survey) is a large-scale survey of the Galactic plane, performed with Herschel in five infrared continuum bands between 70 and 500 µm. We present a band-merged catalogue of spatially matched sources and their properties derived from fits to the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and heliocentric dis…

We present an overview of the first data release (DR1) and first-look science from the Green Bank Ammonia Survey (GAS). GAS is a Large Program at the Green Bank Telescope to map all Gould Belt star-forming regions with {A}{{V}}≳ 7 mag visible from the northern hemisphere in emission from NH3 and other key molecular tracers.
