SCUBA-2 observations of candidate starbursting protoclusters selected by Planck and Herschel-SPIRE
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2019)We present SCUBA-2 850 μm observations of 13 candidate starbursting protoclusters selected using Planck and Herschel data. The cumulative number counts of the 850 μm sources in 9 of 13 of these candidate protoclusters show ... -
SCUBA-2 overdensities associated with candidate protoclusters selected from Planck data
(Oxford University Press, 2020)We measure the 850-μm source densities of 46 candidate protoclusters selected from the Planck high-z catalogue (PHz) and the Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS) that were followed up with Herschel-SPIRE and SCUBA-2. ... -
