(Sub)millimetre-selected galaxies and the cosmic star-formation history
No full textUnderstanding the time evolution of the star formation in the Universe is one
of the main aims of observational astronomy. Since a significant portion of the
UV starlight is being absorbed by dust and re-emitted in the IR, we need to
understand both of those regimes to properly describe the cosmic star formation
history. In UV, the depth and the resolution of the data permits calculations
of the star formation rate densities out to very high redshifts (z ∼ 8 − 9). In
IR however, the large beam sizes and the relatively shallow data limits these
calculations to z ∼ 2.
In this thesis, I explore the SMA and PdBI high-resolution follow-up of 30
bright sources originally selected by AzTEC and LABOCA instruments at 1.1
mm and 870 μm respectively in conjunction with the SCUBA-2 Cosmology
Legacy Survey (S2CLS) deep COSMOS and wide UDS maps, where 106 and
283 sources were detected, with the signal-to-noise ratio of > 5 and > 3.5 at
850 μm respectively. I find that the (sub)mm-selected galaxies reside and the
mean redshifts of ¯z ≃ 2.5±0.05 with the exception of the brightest sources which
seem to lie at higher redshifts (¯z ≃ 3.5 ± 0.2), most likely due to the apparent
correlation of the (sub)mm flux with redshift, where brighter sources tend to lie at
higher redshifts. Stellar masses, M⋆, and star formation rates, SFRs, were found
(M⋆ & 1010M⊙ and SFR & 100M⊙ yr−1) and used to calculate the specific SFRs.
I determine that the (sub)mm-selected sources mostly lie on the high-mass end
of the star formation ‘main-sequence’ which makes them a high-mass extension
of normal star forming galaxies. I also find that the specific SFR slightly evolves
at redshifts 2−4, suggesting that the efficiency of the star formation seems to be
increasing at these redshifts.
Using the S2CLS data, the bolometric IR luminosity functions (IR LFs) were
found for a range of redshifts z = 1.2 − 4.2 and the contribution of the SMGs to
the total star formation rate density (SFRD) was calculated. The IR LFs were
found to evolve out to redshift ∼ 2.5. The star formation activity in the Universe
was found to peak at z ≃ 2 followed by a slight decline. Assuming the IR to total
SFRD correction found in the literature the SFRD found in this work closely
follows the best-fitting function of Madau & Dickinson (2014)
