OUTLINE

South Pole Telescope and the Detection of Extremely Bright Sources

Lensed Number Count Models

Size Bias and Differential Lensing

Future of Lensed Submm Sources

Summary

MOTIVATION

Submm sources are the most extreme star forming objects in the universe, giving us a chance to observe and understand galaxy formation and star formation.

Gravitational lensing of these sources acts as a natural telescope enabling us to observe what’s otherwise impossible to see.

In order to use a gravitational lensing as a telescope we need to understand our instrument (=lensing)

An experiment optimized for fine-scale anisotropy measurements of the CMB

• Dedicated 10-m telescope at the South Pole• Background-limited 960-element mm camera

mapping at 90, 150, and 220 GHz simultaneously

Science Goals:• Mass-limited SZ survey of galaxy clusters

– study growth of structure, dark energy equation of state

• Fine-scale CMB temperature anisotropies– tSZ power spectrum to measure σ8

– kSZ power spectrum to constrain reionization

• mm sources– strongly lensed dusty star forming galaxies – AGN– rare galactic objects

FUTURE: ALMA, HST

SMG’S: GALAXY FORMATION IN ACTION

LENSING IS A POWERFUL TOOL TO OBSERVE HIGH REDSHIFT STAR FORMATION WITH UNMATCHED RESOLUTION

SPATIAL RESOLUTION AND LENS RECONSTRUCTION IS AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT TO INFER USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT LENSED SMG’S

HST + ALMA = LENS MODELLING

= UNBIASED PROPERTIES OF A LARGE SAMPLE OF STARFORMING GALAXIES

SUMMARY

SPT has discovered a population of extremely bright strongly lensed sources

Lensed Number Counts can explain these sources and predict statistical distributions for them.

Strongly Lensed SMG’s can be affected by biases such as Differential Lensing which can be corrected by a correct lens model

ALMA will enable us to resolve these, Construct Lens Models and allow us to use them to study galaxy formation
