These are
pictures of high redshift detection in the Submillimeter and Millimeter
wavelengths not visible in the Near Infrared and Optical wavelengths.
|
|
Both main
background pictures are in the Near Infrared or optical.
|
|
Left picture -
Grey contours are by SHARC2, Blue and green indicates Bolocam’s
positioning. Bolocam is a 1.1mm
wavelength bolometer camera.
|
|
Right picture-
Green contours are by SHARC2, Blue is Bolocam’s positioning.
|
|
SHARC2 and
Bolocam indicators reveal structures not seen in the Near infra-red or
optical wavelengths.

The source is
interesting because the relatively bright 1 mm / 350 micron fluxes imply a
large luminosity (~10^13 L_solar) for an object at cosmological distances,
and the extremely faint radio emission (< 40 muJy) and lack of an optical
counterpart support this interpretation. The radio / far-IR correlation implies z ~ 4.4. Thus this is likely a hyper-luminous
starburst at high redshift with large amounts of optical extinction, meaning
it may only be studied in the (sub)millimeter.
