Scientific paper

The NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has surveyed the entire sky at 3.4, 4.6, 12, 24 microns with hundreds of times better sensitivity than IRAS. One of the scientific goals of the mission is to find the most luminous galaxies in the universe. More than a dozen mid-infrared bright galaxies selected from the WISE survey have been optically identified as high redshift (z >2) galaxies; they are potentially hyperluminous infrared galaxies (HyLIRGs). We have conducted follow-up observations in submillimeter continuum on some of these galaxies and obtain good detections (S/N>3), indicating they have high infrared luminosity and high dust content. We report on our early results.
