In this first paper in the SUPER GOODS series on powerfully star-forming galaxies in the two GOODS fields, we present a deep SCUBA-2 survey of the GOODS-N at both 850 and 450 micron (central rms noise of 0.28 mJy and 2.6 mJy, respectively). In the central region the 850 micron observations cover the GOODS-N to near the confusion limit of ~1.65 mJy, while over a wider 450 arcmin^2 region---well complemented by Herschel far-infrared imaging---they have a median 4-sigma limit of 3.5 mJy. We present >4-sigma catalogs of 186 850 micron and 31 450 micron selected sources. We use interferometric observations from the SMA and the VLA to obtain precise positions for 114 SCUBA-2 sources (28 from the SMA, all of which are also VLA sources). We present new spectroscopic redshifts and include all existing spectroscopic or photometric redshifts. We also compare redshifts estimated using the 20 cm to 850 micron and the 250 micron to 850 micron flux ratios. We show that the redshift distribution increases with increasing flux, and we parameterize the dependence. We compute the star formation history and the star formation rate (SFR) density distribution functions in various redshift intervals, finding that they reach a peak at z=2-3 before dropping to higher redshifts. We show that the number density per unit volume of SFR>500 solar mass per year galaxies measured from the SCUBA-2 sample does not change much relative to that of lower SFR galaxies from UV selected samples over z=2-5, suggesting that, apart from changes in the normalization, the shape in the number density as a function of SFR is invariant over this redshift interval.

We use ultradeep 20 cm data from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array and 850 micron data from SCUBA-2 and the Submillimeter Array of an 124 arcmin^2 region of the Chandra Deep Field-north to analyze the high radio power (P_20cm>10^31 erg s^-1 Hz^-1)
population. We find that 20 (42+/-9%) of the spectroscopically identified z>0.8 sources have consistent star formation rates (SFRs) inferred from both submillimeter and radio observations, while the remaining sources have lower (mostly undetected) submillimeter fluxes, suggesting that active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity dominates the radio power in these sources. We develop a classification scheme based on the ratio of submillimeter flux to radio power versus radio power and find that it agrees with AGN and star-forming galaxy classifications from Very Long Baseline Interferometry. Our results provide support for an extremely rapid drop in the number of high SFR galaxies above about a thousand solar masses per year (Kroupa initial mass function) and for the locally determined relation between X-ray luminosity and radio power for star-forming galaxies applying at high redshifts and high radio powers. We measure far-infrared (FIR) luminosities and find that some AGNs lie on the FIR-radio correlation, while others scatter below. The AGNs that lie on the correlation appear to do so based on their emission from the AGN torus. We measure a median radio size of 1.0+/-0.3 arcsecond for the star-forming galaxies. The radio sizes of the star-forming galaxies are generally larger than those of the AGNs.
We analyze the >4-sigma sources in the most sensitive 100 arcmin^2 area (rms <0.56 mJy) of a SCUBA-2 850 micron survey of the GOODS-S and present the 75 band 7 ALMA sources (>4.5-sigma) obtained from high-resolution interferometric follow-up observat
ions. The SCUBA-2---and hence ALMA---samples should be complete to 2.25 mJy. Of the 53 SCUBA-2 sources in this complete sample, only five have no ALMA detections, while 13% (68% confidence range 7-19%) have multiple ALMA counterparts. Color-based high-redshift dusty galaxy selection techniques find at most 55% of the total ALMA sample. In addition to using literature spectroscopic and optical/NIR photometric redshifts, we estimate FIR photometric redshifts based on an Arp 220 template. We identify seven z>4 candidates. We see the expected decline with redshift of the 4.5 micron and 24 micron to 850 micron flux ratios, confirming these as good diagnostics of z>4 candidates. We visually classify 52 ALMA sources, finding 44% (68% confidence range 35-53%) to be apparent mergers. We calculate rest-frame 2-8 keV and 8-28 keV luminosities using the 7 Ms Chandra X-ray image. Nearly all of the ALMA sources detected at 0.5-2 keV are consistent with a known X-ray luminosity to 850 micron flux relation for star-forming galaxies, while most of those detected at 2-7 keV are moderate luminosity AGNs that lie just above the 2-7 keV detection threshold. The latter largely have substantial obscurations of log N_H = 23-24 cm^-2, but two of the high-redshift candidates may even be Compton thick.
We present an ultradeep Ks-band image that covers 0.5*0.5 deg^2 centered on the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-North (GOODS-N). The image reaches a 5 sigma depth of Ks(AB) = 24.45 in the GOODS-N region, which is as deep as the GOODS-N Spitze
r Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) 3.6 mu m image. We present a new method of constructing IRAC catalogs that uses the higher spatial resolution Ks image and catalog as priors and iteratively subtracts fluxes from the IRAC images to estimate the IRAC fluxes. Our iterative method is different from the chi^2 approach adopted by other groups. We verified our results using data taken in two different epochs of observations, as well as by comparing our colors with the colors of stars and with the colors derived from model spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies at various redshifts. We make available to the community our WIRCam Ks-band image and catalog (94951 objects in 0.25 deg^2), the Interactive Data Language (IDL) pipeline used for reducing the WIRCam images, and our IRAC 3.6 to 8.0 mu m catalog (16950 objects in 0.06 deg^2 at 3.6 mu m). With this improved Ks and IRAC catalog and a large spectroscopic sample from our previous work, we study the color-magnitude and color-color diagrams of galaxies. We compare the effectiveness of using Ks and IRAC colors to select active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and galaxies at various redshifts. We also study a color selection of z = 0.65--1.2 galaxies using the Ks, 3.6 mu m, and 4.5 mu m bands.
We report spectroscopic redshift measurements for three bright submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) near the GOODS-N field, each with SCUBA-2 850 micron fluxes > 10 mJy, using the Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA). Our molecular linescan observatio
ns of these sources, which occupy a ~7 arcmin$^2$ area outside of the HST coverage of the field, reveal that two lie at $z sim$ 3.14. In the remaining object, we detect line emission consistent with CO(7-6), [C I], and H2O at $z$ = 4.42. The far-infrared spectral energy distributions of these galaxies, constrained by SCUBA-2, NOEMA, and Herschel/SPIRE, indicate instantaneous SFRs $sim4000 ~{rm M_{odot}~yr^{-1}}$ in the $z$ = 4.42 galaxy and $sim 2500~{rm M_{odot}~yr^{-1}}$ in the two $z sim$ 3.14 galaxies. Based on our sources CO line luminosities, we estimate $M_{{rm gas}}sim10^{11} M_{odot}$ and find gas depletion timescales of $tau_{{rm depl}}sim 50$ Myr, consistent with findings in other high-redshift SMGs. Finally, we show that the two $z sim$ 3.14 sources, which alone occupy a volume $sim$10 Mpc$^3$, very likely mark the location of a protocluster of bright SMGs and less dusty optical sources.
The IRAC ultradeep field (IUDF) and IRAC Legacy over GOODS (IGOODS) programs are two ultradeep imaging surveys at 3.6{mu}m and 4.5{mu}m with the Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC). The primary aim is to directly detect the infrared light of reioniz
ation epoch galaxies at z > 7 and to constrain their stellar populations. The observations cover the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), including the two HUDF parallel fields, and the CANDELS/GOODS-South, and are combined with archival data from all previous deep programs into one ultradeep dataset. The resulting imaging reaches unprecedented coverage in IRAC 3.6{mu}m and 4.5{mu}m ranging from > 50 hour over 150 arcmin^2, > 100 hour over 60 sq arcmin2, to 200 hour over 5 - 10 arcmin$^2$. This paper presents the survey description, data reduction, and public release of reduced mosaics on the same astrometric system as the CANDELS/GOODS-South WFC3 data. To facilitate prior-based WFC3+IRAC photometry, we introduce a new method to create high signal-to-noise PSFs from the IRAC data and reconstruct the complex spatial variation due to survey geometry. The PSF maps are included in the release, as are registered maps of subsets of the data to enable reliability and variability studies. Simulations show that the noise in the ultradeep IRAC images decreases approximately as the square root of integration time over the range 20 - 200 hours, well below the classical confusion limit, reaching 1{sigma} point source sensitivities as faint as of 15 nJy (28.5 AB) at 3.6{mu}m and 18 nJy (28.3 AB) at 4.5{mu}m. The value of such ultradeep IRAC data is illustrated by direct detections of z = 7 - 8 galaxies as faint as HAB = 28.
