We report the results of a search for serendipitous [CII] 157.74$mu$m emitters at $zsim4.4$-$4.7$ using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The search exploits the AS2UDS continuum survey, which covers ~50 arcmin$^2$ of the sky towards 695 luminous ($S_{870}gtrsim1$mJy) submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), selected from the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey (S2CLS) 0.96deg$^2$ Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) field. We detect ten candidate line emitters, with an expected false detection rate of ten percent. All of these line emitters correspond to 870$mu$m continuum-detected sources in AS2UDS. The emission lines in two emitters appear to be high-J CO, but the remainder have multi-wavelength properties consistent with [CII] from $zsimeq4.5$ galaxies. Using our sample, we place a lower limit of $>5times10^{-6}$Mpc$^{-3}$ on the space density of luminous ($L_{rm IR} simeq 10^{13}$Lsun) SMGs at $z=4.40$-$4.66$, suggesting $ge7$percent of SMGs with $S_{870mu{rm m}}gtrsim1$mJy lie at $4<z<5$. From stacking the high-resolution ($sim0.15$ full-width half maximum) ALMA $870mu$m imaging, we show that the [CII] line emission is more extended than the continuum dust emission, with an average effective radius for the [CII] of $r_{rm e} = 1.7^{+0.1}_{-0.2}$kpc compared to $r_{rm e} = 1.0pm0.1$kpc for the continuum (rest-frame $160mu$m). By fitting the far-infrared photometry for these galaxies from $100$-$870mu$m, we show that SMGs at $zsim4.5$ have a median dust temperature of $T_{rm d}=55pm4$K. This is systematically warmer than $870mu$m-selected SMGs at $zsimeq2$, which typically have temperatures around $35$K. These $zsimeq4.5$ SMGs display a steeper trend in the luminosity-temperature plane than $zle2$ SMGs. We discuss the implications of this result in terms of the selection biases of high redshift starbursts in far-infrared/submillimeter surveys.

We present the catalogue and properties of sources in AS2UDS, an 870-$mu$m continuum survey with the Atacama Large Millimetre/sub-millimetre Array (ALMA) of 716 single-dish sub-millimetre sources detected in the UKIDSS/UDS field by the SCUBA-2 Cosmol
ogy Legacy Survey. In our sensitive ALMA follow-up observations we detect 708 sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs) at $>$,4.3$sigma$ significance across the $sim$,1-degree diameter field. We combine our precise ALMA positions with the extensive multi-wavelength coverage in the UDS field to fit the spectral energy distributions of our SMGs to derive a median redshift of $z_{rm phot}=$,2.61$pm$0.09. This large sample reveals a statistically significant trend of increasing sub-millimetre flux with redshift suggestive of galaxy downsizing. 101 ALMA maps do not show a $>$,4.3$sigma$ SMG, but we demonstrate from stacking {it Herschel} SPIRE observations at these positions, that the vast majority of these blank maps correspond to real single-dish sub-millimetre sources. We further show that these blank maps contain an excess of galaxies at $z_{rm phot}=$,1.5--4 compared to random fields, similar to the redshift range of the ALMA-detected SMGs. In addition, we combine X-ray and mid-infrared active galaxy nuclei activity (AGN) indicators to yield a likely range for the AGN fraction of 8--28,% in our sample. Finally, we compare the redshifts of this population of high-redshift, strongly star-forming galaxies with the inferred formation redshifts of massive, passive galaxies being found out to $zsim$,2, finding reasonable agreement -- in support of an evolutionary connection between these two classes of massive galaxy.
We report the first results of AS2UDS: an 870 $mu$m continuum survey with the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) of a total area of $sim$ 50 arcmin$^2$ comprising a complete sample of 716 submillimeter sources drawn from the SCUBA-2
Cosmology Legacy Survey (S2CLS) map of the UKIDSS/UDS field. The S2CLS parent sample covers a 0.96 degree$^2$ field at $sigma_{850}=0.90pm0.05$ mJy beam$^{-1}$. Our deep, high-resolution ALMA observations with $sigma_{rm 870}sim$ 0.25 mJy and a 0.15--0.30 FWHM synthesized beam, provide precise locations for 695 submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) responsible for the submillimeter emission corresponding to 606 sources in the low resolution, single-dish map. We measure the number counts of SMGs brighter than $S_{rm 870}geq$ 4 mJy, free from the effects of blending and show that the normalisation of the counts falls by 28 $pm$ 2% in comparison to the SCUBA-2 parent sample, but that the shape remains unchanged. We determine that 44$^{+16}_{-14}$% of the brighter single-dish sources with $S_{850}geq$ 9 mJy consist of a blend of two or more ALMA-detectable SMGs brighter than $S_{870}sim$ 1 mJy (corresponding to a galaxy with a total-infrared luminosity of $L_{IR}geq$ 10$^{12}$ L$_odot$), in comparison to 28 $pm$ 2% for the single-dish sources at $S_{rm 850}geq$ 5 mJy. Using the 46 single-dish submillimeter sources that contain two or more ALMA-detected SMGs with photometric redshifts, we show that there is a significant statistical excess of pairs of SMGs with similar redshifts ($<$1% probability of occurring by chance), suggesting that at least 30% of these blends arise from physically associated pairs of SMGs.
We analyse 870um Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA) dust continuum detections of 41 canonically-selected z~3 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs), as well as 209 ALMA-undetected LBGs, in follow-up of SCUBA-2 mapping of the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) fi
eld. We find that our ALMA-bright LBGs lie significantly off the locally calibrated IRX-beta relation and tend to have relatively bluer rest-frame UV slopes (as parametrised by beta), given their high values of the infrared excess (IRX=L_IR/L_UV), relative to the average local IRX-beta relation. We attribute this finding in part to the young ages of the underlying stellar populations but we find that the main reason behind the unusually blue UV slopes are the relatively shallow slopes of the corresponding dust attenuation curves. We show that, when stellar masses are being established via SED fitting, it is absolutely crucial to allow the attenuation curves to vary (rather than fixing it on Calzetti-like law), where we find that the inappropriate curves may underestimate the resulting stellar masses by a factor of ~2-3x on average. In addition, we find these LBGs to have relatively high specific star-formation rates (sSFRs), dominated by the dust component, as quantified via the fraction of obscured star formation ( f_obs = SFR_IR/SFR_(UV+IR)). We conclude that the ALMA-bright LBGs are, by selection, massive galaxies undergoing a burst of a star formation (large sSFRs, driven, for example, by secular or merger processes), with a likely geometrical disconnection of the dust and stars, responsible for producing shallow dust attenuation curves.
We present an analysis of the morphology and profiles of the dust continuum emission in 153 bright sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs) detected with ALMA at S/N ratios of $>8$ in high-resolution $0.18$ ($sim1$kpc) 870$mu$m maps. We measure sizes, shapes a
nd light profiles for the rest-frame far-infrared emission from these luminous star-forming systems and derive a median effective radius ($R_e$) of $0.10pm0.04$ for our sample with a median flux of $S_{870}=5.6pm0.2$mJy. We find that the apparent axial ratio ($b/a$) distribution of the SMGs peaks at $b/asim0.63pm0.24$ and is best described by triaxial morphologies, while their emission profiles are best fit by a Sersic model with $nsimeq1.0pm0.1$, similar to exponential discs. This combination of triaxiality and $nsim1$ Sersic index are characteristic of bars and we suggest that the bulk of the 870$mu$m dust continuum emission in the central $sim2$kpc of these galaxies arises from bar-like structures. By stacking our 870$mu$m maps we recover faint extended dust continuum emission on $sim4$kpc scales which contributes $13pm1$% of the total 870$mu$m emission. The scale of this extended emission is similar to that seen for the molecular gas and rest-frame optical light in these systems, suggesting that it represents an extended dust and gas disc at radii larger than the more active bar component. Including this component in our estimated size of the sources we derive a typical effective radius of $simeq0.15pm0.05$ or $1.2pm0.4$kpc. Our results suggest that kpc-scale bars are ubiquitous features of high star-formation rate systems at $zgg1$, while these systems also contain fainter and more extended gas and stellar envelopes. We suggest that these features, seen some $10-12$Gyrs ago, represent the formation phase of the earliest galactic-scale components: stellar bulges.
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of 52 sub-millimeter galaxies (SMGs), identified using ALMA 870$mu$m continuum imaging in a pilot program to precisely locate bright SCUBA2-selected sub-mm sources in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) field. Us
ing the available deep (especially near-infrared), panoramic imaging of the UDS field at optical-to-radio wavelengths we characterize key properties of the SMG population. The median photometric redshift of the bright ALMA/SCUBA-2 UDS (AS2UDS) SMGs that are detected in a sufficient number of wavebands to derive a robust photometric redshift is $z$=2.65$pm$0.13. However, similar to previous studies, 27% of the SMGs are too faint at optical-to-near-infrared wavelengths to derive a reliable photometric redshift. Assuming that these SMGs lie at z$gtrsim$3 raises the median redshift of the full sample to $z$=2.9$pm$0.2. A subset of 23, unlensed, bright AS2UDS SMGs have sizes measured from resolved imaging of their rest-frame far-infrared emission. We show that the extent and luminosity of the far-infrared emission are consistent with the dust emission arising from regions that are optically thick, on average, at a wavelength of $lambda_0$$ge$75$mu$m (1-$sigma$ dispersion of 55-90$mu$m). Using the dust masses derived from our optically-thick spectral energy distribution models we determine that these galaxies have a median hydrogen column density of $N_{H}$=9.8$_{-0.7}^{+1.4}$$times$10$^{23}$cm$^{-2}$, or a corresponding median $V$-band obscuration of $A_mathrm{v}$=540$^{+80}_{-40}$mag, averaged along the line of sight to the source of their restframe $sim$200$mu$m emission. We discuss the implications of this extreme attenuation by dust for the multiwavelength study of dusty starbursts and reddening-sensitive tracers of star formation.
