Abstract:
The Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) Half-Degree
Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) is a major new blank-field extragalactic
submillimetre (submm) survey currently underway at the James Clerk
Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). Ultimately, SHADES aims to cover half a
square degree at 450 and 850um to a 4 depth of 8umJy at 850um. Two
fields are being observed, the Subaru/XMMNewton Deep Field (SXDF)
(02h18m +05°) and the Lockman Hole East (10h52m+ 57°). The
survey has three main aims: (i) to investigate the population of
high-redshift submm galaxies and the cosmic history of massive
dust-enshrouded star formation activity; (ii) to investigate the
clustering properties of submm-selected galaxies in order to determine
whether these objects could be progenitors of present-day massive
ellipticals; and (iii) to investigate the fraction of submm-selected
sources that harbour active galactic nuclei. To achieve these aims
requires that the submm data be combined with co-spatial information
spanning the radio-to-X-ray frequency range. Accordingly, SHADES has
been designed to benefit from ultra-deep radio imaging obtained with
the Very Large Array (VLA), deep mid-infrared observations from the
Spitzer Space Telescope, submm mapping by the Balloon-borne Large
Aperture Submillimetre Telescope (BLAST), deep near-infrared imaging
with the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, deep optical imaging with
the Subaru Telescope and deep X-ray observations with the XMMNewton
observatory.

Note (1): Uncertainties in physical positions are 3.2 arcsec in RA and 3.2
arcsec in DE. The same uncertainties have been adopted for all SHADES
sources in both fields.
Note (2): Error bars representing the 68 per cent confidence bounds of the
(non-Gaussian) deboosted flux density distribution.
Note (3): Notes as follows:
* = This source has a hint of flux at 450micron measured at the SHADES
catalogue positions at a significance level >3σ
a = This source was identified by all four groups with a S/N>3
b = This source is mildly affected by the noise spike
c = This source was identified by three groups with a S/N>3
d = This source was identified by two groups with a S/N>3
e = This source was identified by one additional group with 2.5<S/N<3
f = This source was identified by two additional groups with 2.5<S/N<3
cs = This source has a relatively poor spatial chi-squared fit
ct = This source has a relatively poor temporal chi-squared fit
