Scientific paper

In the last decade, the sub-millimeter field has been opened up and advancing. After SCUBA detected the first two sub-millimeter galaxies (SMGs), follow up observation's revealed hundreds more. Although the number of SMGs continues to grow, our knowledge of SMGs is still based upon roughly 50% of the population. Without accurate positional information of these SMGs, that percentage will remain mostly unchanged. By using CARMA, we were able to generate accurate positional information (< .3 arcsec) on 3 SMGs. With this information, it is possible to accurately identify, the radio and optical counterparts to these SMGs, which is critical to figuring out their redshift.
