TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a sub-millimeter SDSS (SDSS-LSTM) survey in the sub-mm window, which is able to measure the redshifts, star formation rates, dust and gas content of hundreds of thousands of high-z galaxies down to L *.Abstract:
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) was revolutionary because of the extraordinary breadth and ambition of its optical imaging and spectroscopy. We argue that a 'sub-millimeter SDSS' - a sensitive large-area imaging+spectroscopic survey in the sub-mm window - will revolutionize our understanding of galaxy evolution in the early Universe. By detecting the thermal dust continuum emission and atomic and molecular line emission of galaxies out to z~10 it will be possible to measure the redshifts, star formation rates, dust and gas content of hundreds of thousands of high-z galaxies down to ~L*. Many of these galaxies will have counterparts visible in the deep optical imaging of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope. This 3D map of galaxy evolution will span the peak epoch of galaxy formation all the way back to cosmic dawn, measuring the co-evolution of the star formation rate density and molecular gas content of galaxies, tracking the production of metals and charting the growth of large-scale structure.read more

Cosmic Star-Formation History
Piero Madau,Mark Dickinson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the range of complementary techniques and theoretical tools that allow astronomers to map the cosmic history of star formation, heavy element production, and reionization of the Universe from the cosmic "dark ages" to the present epoch.

A broadband superconducting detector suitable for use in large arrays
TL;DR: The demonstration of a superconducting detector that is easily fabricated and can readily be incorporated into large arrays, and its sensitivity is already within an order of magnitude of that needed for CMB observations, and the energy resolution is similarly close to the targets required for future X-ray astronomy missions.

TL;DR: In this article, a deep sub-millimetre-wavelength survey of the Hubble Deep Field was conducted, and the combined radiation of the five most significant detections accounts for 30-50 per cent of the previously unresolved background emission in this area.
