The ALESS survey has followed up on a sample of 122 sub-millimeter sources in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South at 870 μm with Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), allowing us to pinpoint positions galaxies (SMGs) ∼0.3 arcsec and find their precise counterparts different wavelengths. This enabled first compilation multi-wavelength spectral energy distributions (SEDs) statistically reliable SMGs. In this paper, we present new calibration magphys SED modeling code that is optimized fit...
We exploit ALMA 870um (345GHz) observations of submillimetre sources in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South to investigate far-infrared properties high-redshift galaxies (SMGs). Using precisely located positions 99 SMGs, together with 24um and radio imaging this field, we deblend Herschel/SPIRE region extract their fluxes colours. The median photometric redshifts for LESS (ALESS) SMGs which are detected at least two SPIRE bands increases wavelength peak SEDs, z=2.3+/-0.2, 2.5+/-0.3...
We report the results of a pilot study with EVLA 12CO J=1-0 emission from four SMGs at z=2.2-2.5, each an existing detection CO J=3-2. Using EVLA's most compact configuration we detect strong, broad line all our targets. The median width ratio, sigma(1-0)/sigma(3-2) = 1.15 +/- 0.06, suggests that is more spatially extended than J=3-2 emission, situation confirmed by maps which reveal velocity structure in several cases and typical sizes ~16 kpc FWHM.

We present high-resolution (0.3'') ALMA 870um imaging of 52 sub-millimeter galaxies (SMGs) in the Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) field and investigate size morphology (sub-mm) emission on 2-10kpc scales. derive a median intrinsic angular FWHM=0.30$\pm$0.04'' for 23 SMGs sample detected at signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) >10. Using photometric redshifts we show that this corresponds to physical half-light diameter 2.4$\pm$0.2kpc. A stacking analysis an SNR <10 shows they have sizes consistent with...
We present the first photometric redshift distribution for a large sample of 870 μm submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) with robust identifications based on observations ALMA. In our analysis we consider 96 SMGs in Extended Chandra Deep Field South, 77 which have 4–19 band photometry. model SEDs these SMGs, deriving median zphot = 2.3 ± 0.1. The remaining 19 insufficient photometry to derive redshifts, but stacking Herschel confirms they are not spurious. Assuming that an absolute H-band magnitude...

We present 1-7 GHz high-resolution radio imaging (VLA and e-MERLIN) spatially-resolved ionized gas kinematics for ten z<0.2 type~2 `obscured' quasars (log [L(AGN)/(erg/s)]>~45) with moderate luminosities [L(1.4GHz)/(W/Hz)]=23.3-24.4). These targets were selected to have known outflows based on broad [OIII] emission-line components (FWHM~800-1800 km/s). Although `radio-quiet' not `radio AGN' by many traditional criteria, we show that nine of the targets, star formation likely accounts <~10...
