“…This section has been divided in two subsections: the first ( § 2.1) deals with the consideration of 850µm 1 The complete 1800 sq. arcmins SHADES area towards the LH and the SXDF has recently been surveyed at the JCMT at 1.1mm with AzTEC (Wilson et al 2004), a continuum camera destined for the 50-m Large Millimetre Telescope (Serrano et al 2006). These AzTEC data are currently being analysed and the results will be presented elsewhere.…”

We present the redshift distribution of the Submillimetre Common‐User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) Half Degree Survey (SHADES) galaxy population based on the rest‐frame radio–mm–far‐infrared (FIR) colours of 120 robustly detected 850 μm sources in the Lockman Hole East (LH) and Subaru XMM–Newton Deep Field (SXDF). The redshift distribution derived from the full spectral energy distribution (SED) information is shown to be narrower than that determined from the radio–sub‐mm spectral index, as more photometric bands contribute to a higher redshift accuracy. The redshift distribution of sources derived from at least two photometric bands peaks at z≈ 2.4 and has a near‐Gaussian distribution, with 50 per cent (interquartile range) of sources at z= 1.8–3.1. We find a statistically significant difference between the measured redshift distributions in the two fields; the SXDF peaking at a slightly lower redshift (median z≈ 2.2) than the LH (median z≈ 2.7), which we attribute to the noise properties of the radio observations. We demonstrate, however, that there could also be field‐to‐field variations that are consistent with the measured differences in the redshift distributions and, hence, that the incomplete area observed by SHADES with SCUBA, despite being the largest sub‐mm survey to date, may still be too small to fully characterize the bright sub‐mm galaxy population. Finally, we present a brief comparison with the predicted, or assumed, redshift distributions of sub‐mm galaxy formation and evolution models, and we derive the contribution of these SHADES sources and the general sub‐mm galaxy population to the star formation rate density at different epochs.

“…SPEED, the SPEctral Energy Distribution camera, is an array of four frequency selective bolometers for simultaneous observations at 2.1, 1.4, 1.1 and 0.8 mm (Wilson et al 2004). As such it will provide exact relative, and often absolute, fluxes in the four bands independently of the observing conditions.…”

The understanding of the high energy γ -ray sky requires a coordinated multi-wavelength strategy. The Large Millimeter Telescope will be the largest and most sensitive single dish antenna operating between 0.8 mm and 3 mm in the foreseeable future. Its first light instrumentation and capabilities are well suited for studies of dust, dense molecular gas and the synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons. The Large Millimeter Telescope, due to enter commissioning and first light science phase in 2007, will be able to complement GLAST observations and help disentangling the nature of the new and old unidentified gamma-ray sources.
