The most luminous galaxies in the Universe

Submillimetre galaxies have become essential tools in studying the high redshift Universe. Reaching luminosities well over 10¹³ L⊙, they constitute the vast majority of star formation during this early epoch. Their combined infrared and submillimetre emission output is comparable in energy density t...
