  1. Cosmology Legacy Survey Jim DunlopUniversity of Edinburgh + Ian Smail (Durham), Mark Halpern (UBC), Paul van der Werf (Leiden)

  2. Cosmology Legacy Survey Why are extra-galactic sub-mm surveys interesting? • Most star-formation activity at high z appears dust-enshrouded • Key and challenging test for current galaxy-formation models • Crucial for understanding link between star and black-hole formation

  3. Hughes et al. 1998

  4. Baugh et al. 2005

  5. Cosmology Legacy Survey SCUBA-2 is a new CCD-style imager for the JCMT 50 sq arcmin FOV ~ 10 x SCUBA FOV Fully sampled imaging New TES detectors

  6. Cosmology Legacy Survey SCUBA survey heritage 8mJy HDF SHADES

  7. Cosmology Legacy Survey SCUBA2 Survey Strategy • In the sub-mm, the standard survey “wedding cake” has been a bit squashed due to: • Large (15 arcsec) beam size of the JCMT at 850 microns • High background • Effect of negative k-corrections • Limited sensitivity and FOV of SCUBA SCUBA2 (on the JCMT) only changes the last of these

  8. Cosmology Legacy Survey SCUBA2 Survey Strategy

  9. Wide 850 survey – “Super SHADES” • 20 sq degrees, s850 = 0.7 mJy ~10,000 sources with S/N > 10 • ~Schmidt plate in area, to the depth of the SCUBA HDF image • Accurate measurements of clustering and redshift distribution • – placing luminous starbursts within LCDM • Observing proto Coma clusters • The bright source counts – extreme objects • Bulge and black-hole formation • Intermediate and low-redshift sources • The SZ effect

  10. Deep 450 micron survey • 0.6 sq degree, s450 = 0.5 mJy, ~10000 sources • Bolometric output of the 850 micron population • Determining the source populations dominating the 450 micron background • Exploiting high-resolution to beat down the confusion limit • Exploiting high resolution to better identify the 850 micron sources + • connect with Herschel and Spitzer data etc • Resolving sub-mm sources – starbursts versus AGN etc

  11. Cosmology Legacy Survey SCUBA2 Survey Strategy 2-year plan – fields dictated by multi-freq follow-up and accessibility 20 sq degree 850 micron survey to rms = 0.7 mJy XMM-LSS (5 sq deg), Lockman Hole (4 sq deg), CDFS (3 sq deg), ELAIS N1 (2 sq deg), COSMOS (2 sq deg), BOOTES (2 sq. deg), EGS (1 sq deg), AKARI NEP (1 sq deg) 0.6-0.9 sq degree 450 micron survey to rms = 0.5 mJy GOODS-N (0.05 sq deg), GOODS-S (0.05-0.25 sq deg), UDS (0.25 sq deg), COSMOS (0.25 sq deg), SA22 (0.02 sq deg), AKARI NEP (0.02 sq deg) 0.6-0.9 sq degree 850 micron survey to rms = 0.15 mJy GOODS-N (0.05 sq deg), GOODS-S (0.05-0.25 sq deg), UDS (0.25 sq deg) COSMOS (0.25 sq deg), SA22 (0.02 sq deg), AKARI NEP (0.02 sq deg)
