    ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey: A spectral stacking analysis of [C II] in lensed z ∼ 6 galaxies
    (2021) Jolly, Jean-Baptiste; Knudsen, Kirsten; Laporte, Nicolas; Richard, Johan; Fujimoto, Seiji; Kohno, Kotaro; Ao, Yiping; Bauer, Franz E.; Egami, Eiichi; Espada, Daniel; Dessauges-Zavadsky, Miroslava; Magdis, Georgios; Schaerer, Daniel; Sun, Fengwu; Valentino, Francesco; Wang, Wei-Hao; Zitrin, Adi
    Context. The properties of galaxies at redshift z>6 hold the key to our understanding of the early stages of galaxy evolution and can potentially identify the sources of the ultraviolet radiation that give rise to the epoch of reionisation. The far-infrared cooling line of [C II] at 158 mu m is known to be bright and correlate with the star formation rate (SFR) of low-redshift galaxies, and hence is also suggested to be an important tracer of star formation and interstellar medium properties for very high-redshift galaxies.

    ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey: average dust, gas, and star-formation properties of cluster and field galaxies from stacking analysis
    (2023) Guerrero, Andrea; Nagar, Neil; Kohno, Kotaro; Fujimoto, Seiji; Kokorev, Vasily; Brammer, Gabriel; Jolly, Jean-Baptiste; Knudsen, Kirsten; Sun, Fengwu; Bauer, Franz E.; Caminha, Gabriel B.; Caputi, Karina; Neumann, Gerald; Orellana-Gonzalez, Gustavo; Cerulo, Pierluigi; Gonzalez-Lopez, Jorge; Laporte, Nicolas; Koekemoer, Anton M.; Ao, Yiping; Espada, Daniel; Arancibia, Alejandra M.

    We develop new tools for continuum and spectral stacking of Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) data, and apply these to the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey. We derive average dust masses, gas masses, and star-formation rates (SFRs) from the stacked observed 260-GHz continuum of 3402 individually undetected star-forming galaxies, of which 1450 are cluster galaxies and 1952 field galaxies, over three redshift and stellar mass bins (over z = 0-1.6 and log M-*[M-circle dot] = 8-11.7), and derive the average molecular gas content by stacking the emission line spectra in a SFR-selected subsample. The average SFRs and specific SFRs of both cluster and field galaxies are lower than those expected for main-sequence (MS) star-forming galaxies, and only galaxies with stellar mass of log M-*[M-circle dot] = 9.35-10.6 show dust and gas fractions comparable with those in the MS. The ALMA-traced average 'highly obscured' SFRs are typically lower than the SFRs observed from optical to near-infrared spectral analysis. Cluster and field galaxies show similar trends in their contents of dust and gas, even when field galaxies were brighter in the stacked maps. From spectral stacking we find a potential CO (J = 4 -> 3) line emission (signal-to-noise ratio being similar to 4) when stacking cluster and field galaxies with the highest SFRs.

    ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey: Full Spectral Energy Distribution Analysis of z ∼ 0.5-6 Lensed Galaxies Detected with millimeter Observations
    (2024) Uematsu, Ryosuke; Ueda, Yoshihiro; Kohno, Kotaro; Toba, Yoshiki; Yamada, Satoshi; Smail, Ian; Umehata, Hideki; Fujimoto, Seiji; Hatsukade, Bunyo; Ao, Yiping; Bauer, Franz Erik; Brammer, Gabriel; Dessauges-Zavadsky, Miroslava; Espada, Daniel; Jolly, Jean-Baptiste; Koekemoer, Anton M.; Kokorev, Vasily; Magdis, Georgios E.; Oguri, Masamune; Sun, Fengwu
    Sub/millimeter galaxies are a key population for the study of galaxy evolution because the majority of star formation at high redshifts occurred in galaxies deeply embedded in dust. To search for this population, we have performed an extensive survey with Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), called the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS). This survey covers 133 arcmin(2) area and securely detects 180 sources at z similar to 0.5-6 with a flux limit of similar to 0.2 mJy at 1.2 mm. Here, we report the results of multiwavelength spectral energy distribution analysis of the whole ALCS sample, utilizing the observed-frame UV to millimeter photometry. We find that the majority of the ALCS sources lie on the star-forming main sequence, with a smaller fraction showing intense starburst activities. The ALCS sample contains high infrared-excess sources ( IRX = log ( L dust / L UV ) > 1 ), including two extremely dust-obscured galaxies (IRX > 5). We also confirm that the ALCS sample probes a broader range in lower dust mass than conventional submillimeter galaxy samples in the same redshift range. We identify six heavily obscured active galactic nucleus (AGN) candidates that are not detected in the archival Chandra data in addition to the three X-ray AGNs reported by Uematsu et al. (2023). The inferred AGN luminosity density shows a possible excess at z = 2-3 compared with that determined from X-ray surveys below 10 keV.

    Extensive Lensing Survey of Optical and Near-infrared Dark Objects (El Sonido): HST H-faint Galaxies behind 101 Lensing Clusters
    (2021) Sun, Fengwu; Egami, Eiichi; Perez-Gonzalez, Pablo G.; Smail, Ian; Caputi, Karina I.; Bauer, Franz E.; Rawle, Timothy D.; Fujimoto, Seiji; Kohno, Kotaro; Dudzeviciute, Ugne; Atek, Hakim; Bianconi, Matteo; Chapman, Scott C.; Combes, Francoise; Jauzac, Mathilde; Jolly, Jean-Baptiste; Koekemoer, Anton M.; Magdis, Georgios E.; Rodighiero, Giulia; Rujopakarn, Wiphu; Schaerer, Daniel; Steinhardt, Charles L.; Van der Werf, Paul; Walth, Gregory L.; Weaver, John R.
    We present a Spitzer/IRAC survey of H-faint (H-160 greater than or similar to 26.4, < 5 sigma) sources in 101 lensing cluster fields. Across a CANDELS/Wide-like survey area of similar to 648 arcmin(2) (effectively similar to 221 arcmin(2) in the source plane), we have securely discovered 53 sources in the IRAC Channel-2 band (CH2, 4.5 mu m; median CH2 = 22.46 +/- 0.11 AB mag) that lack robust HST/WFC3-IR F160W counterparts. The most remarkable source in our sample, namely ES-009 in the field of Abell 2813, is the brightest H-faint galaxy at 4.5 mu m known so far (CH2 = 20.48 +/- 0.03 AB mag). We show that the H-faint sources in our sample are massive (median M-star = 10 10.3 +/- 0.3 M-circle dot, star-forming (median star formation rate =1001 M-circle dot yr(-1)), and dust-obscured (A(v) = 2.6 +/- 0.3) galaxies around a median photometric redshift of z = 3.9 +/- 0.4. The stellar continua of 14 H-faint galaxies can be resolved in the CH2 band, suggesting a median circularized effective radius (R-e,R-circ; lensing corrected) of 1.9 +/- 0.2 kpc and <1.5 kpc for the resolved and whole samples, respectively. This is consistent with the sizes of massive unobscured galaxies at z similar to 4, indicating that H-faint galaxies represent the dusty tail of the distribution of a wider galaxy population. Comparing with the ALMA dust continuum sizes of similar galaxies reported previously, we conclude that the heavy dust obscuration in H-faint galaxies is related to the compactness of both stellar and dust continua (R-e,R-circ similar to 1 kpc). These H-faint galaxies make up 161 3 % of the galaxies in the stellar-mass range of 10(10) - 10(11.2) M-circle dot at z = 3 similar to 5, contributing to 8(-4)(+8)% of the cosmic star formation rate density in this epoch and likely tracing the early phase of massive galaxy formation.
