Physics

Scientific paper

An important legacy of Spitzer telescope is that it has established the increasing importance of IR luminous (LIRG) and ultraluminous IR galaxies (ULIRGs) in the cosmic star formation and mass assembly history to z>1. Hierarchical models of galaxy formation and evolution and the popular notion of ``downsizing'' suggest that so-called 'submillimeter galaxies' (SMGs) with L(IR)=10^{12-13}L_odot likely play an important role in the mass assembly history at z>1-2, particularly in high density environments. Using the AzTEC instrument on James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) and Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE) telescope in Chile, we have constructed a new data base that includes 1000 SMGs (>2 times larger than all previous SMG surveys combined) covering both ``blank'' and biased/overdensity fields. The main aim of this Spitzer proposal is to map the process by which clusters build up their mass using luminous IR galaxies identified using MIPS 24 micron and AzTEC 1100 micron surveys and to put the SMG phenomenon in the broader context of galaxy and large scale structure evolution.
