We present the results of deep near-infrared spectroscopy of seven submillimetre-selected galaxies from the SCUBA 8-mJy and CUDSS surveys. These galaxies were selected because they are too faint to be accessible to optical spectrographs on large telescopes. We obtain a spectroscopic redshift for one object, and likely redshifts for two more, based on a combination of marginal emission line detections and the shape of the continuum. All three redshifts broadly agree with estimates from their radio/submm spectral energy distributions. From the emission line strengths of these objects, we infer star formation rates of 10-25 Msun/yr, while the lack of detections in the other objects imply even lower rates. By comparing our results with those of other authors, we conclude it is likely that the vast majority (more than 90 per cent) of the star formation in these objects is completely extinguished at rest-frame optical wavelengths, and the emission lines originate in a relatively unobscured region. Finally, we look at future prospects for making spectroscopic redshift determinations of submm galaxies.
A near-infrared (NIR; 2.5 - 4.5 micron) spectroscopic survey of SDSS(Sloan Digital Sky Survey)-selected blue early-type galaxies (BEGs) has been conducted using the AKARI. The NIR spectra of 36 BEGs are secured, which are well balanced in their star-
We report on deep near-infrared (NIR) observations of submillimeter-selected galaxies (SMGs) with the Near Infrared Camera (NIRC) on the Keck I telescope. We have identified K-band candidate counterparts for 12 out of 15 sources in the SCUBA Cluster
We have studied the submillimetre (submm) properties of the following classes of near-infrared (NIR)-selected massive galaxies at high redshifts: BzK-selected star-forming galaxies (BzKs); distant red galaxies (DRGs); and extremely red objects (EROs)
(Abridged) We present new K-band spectroscopy for a sample of 48 starburst galaxies, obtained using UKIRT in Hawaii. This constitutes a fair sample of the most common types of starburst galaxies found in the nearby Universe. The variety of near infra
Results from near-infrared 1.5 - 2.5 micron long-slit spectroscopy of 14 nearby Seyfert galaxies are presented.
