Abstract:
Wide-field Spitzer surveys allow identification of thousands of
potentially high-z submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) through their bright
24um emission and their mid-IR colors. We want to determine the
average properties of such z∼2 Spitzer-selected SMGs by combining
millimeter, radio, and infrared photometry for a representative
IR-flux (lambdarest∼8um) limited sample of SMG candidates.
A complete sample of 33 sources believed to be starbursts
(5.8um-peakers) was selected in the (0.5deg2) J1046+56 field with
selection criteria F_24um>400uJy, the presence of a redshifted stellar
emission peak at 5.8um, and r'Vega>23. The field, part of the SWIRE
Lockman Hole field, benefits from very deep VLA/GMRT 20cm, 50cm, and
90cm radio data (all 33 sources are detected at 50cm), and deep 160um
and 70um Spitzer data. The 33 sources, with photometric redshifts
∼1.5-2.5, were observed at 1.2mm with IRAM-30m/MAMBO to an rms
∼0.7-0.8mJy in most cases. Their millimeter, radio, 7-band Spitzer,
and near-IR properties were jointly analyzed.
Description:
Observations were made during the winter 2006/2007 MAMBO observing
pool between December 2006 and March 2007 at the IRAM 30m telescope,
located at Pico Veleta, Spain, using the 117-element version of the
MAMBO array operating at 1.2mm (250GHz).

selected, but note that the coverage of the optical observations
is not uniform across the field. The optical data come from NOAO
and the Near-IR magnitudes from UKIRT (see text).

with 1.5<S/N<3 (Det=C) where they are the observed value plus 2σ.

Note (1): The value of L1.4GHz, the rest-frame luminosity at 1.4GHz, is
the weighted average of the two determinations of L1.4GHz from 20cm
and 50cm flux densities when both are available.
Note (2): d: for sources with high 20cm/1.2mm flux densities ratios, the
values of LFIR,radio, the infrared SFR derived from the radio flux
densities and the stellar mass are dubious.
Note (3): SFR calculated by Kennicutt's formula (Eq. (6)) with a Salpeter
IMF (see text). The upper limits of LFIR and SFR are 3σ
limits, except for the sources with 1.5<S/N<3 where they are the
observed value plus 2σ. The upper limits of LFIR,radio and
SFRradio are 3σ limits.
Note (4): Abbreviations used:
SMG = submillimeter galaxies
SFRG = submillimetre faint radio galaxies
