Scientific paper

We summarize the main results from our SCUBA survey of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z ~ 3. Analysis of a new large sample of LBGs reveals some 850 micron emission is likely present in our high star formation rate (SFR) LBG sample (0.7 mJy). Known populations of LBGs could therefore be contributing a large portion of the far-IR Background. The detection of the LBG, Westphal-MM8, at 1.9 mJy suggests that deeper observations of individual LBGs in our sample could uncover detections at similar levels, consistent with our UV-based predictions. By the same token, many sub-mm selected sources with S850 < 2 mJy could be LBGs. The data is also consistent with the far-IR/β relation holding at z = 3.
