Scientific paper

We combine deep imaging at 24 and 70 micron with the MIPS instrument on the Spitzer Space Telescope with submillimeter photometry of the largest sample of submillimeter-selected galaxies (SMGs) with spectroscopic redshifts to examine the far-IR--radio correlation for SMGs. We show with the largest sample of SMGs to date that SMGs follow a tight, nearly linear correlation between IR luminosity and radio luminosity, regardless of AGN/starburst spectral type. We directly compare the IR--radio correlation for high-z SMGs to that of lower-luminosity, local, IRAS-selected star forming galaxies to show that the IR--radio relation for SMGs is consistent with the local relation.
