Abstract
We present a technique to identify optical counterparts of 250‐μm‐selected sources from the Herschel–ATLAS survey. Of the 6621 250 μm > 32‐mJy sources in our science demonstration catalogue we find that ∼60 per cent have counterparts brighter than r = 22.4 mag in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Applying a likelihood ratio technique we are able to identify 2423 of the counterparts with a reliability R > 0.8. This is approximately 37 per cent of the full 250‐μm catalogue. We have estimated photometric redshifts for each of these 2423 reliable counterparts, while 1099 also have spectroscopic redshifts collated from several different sources, including the GAMA survey. We estimate the completeness of identifying counterparts as a function of redshift, and present evidence that 250‐μm‐selected Herschel–ATLAS galaxies have a bimodal redshift distribution. Those with reliable optical identifications have a redshift distribution peaking at z ≈ 0.25 ± 0.05, while submillimetre colours suggest that a significant fraction with no counterpart above the r‐band limit have z > 1. We also suggest a method for selecting populations of strongly lensed high‐redshift galaxies. Our identifications are matched to UV–NIR photometry from the GAMA survey, and these data are available as part of the Herschel–ATLAS public data release.

Of the 6621 250 μm > 32‐mJy sources in our science demonstration catalogue we find that ∼60 per cent have counterparts brighter than r = 22.4 mag in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Applying a likelihood ratio technique we are able to identify 2423 of the counterparts with a reliability R > 0.8. This is approximately 37 per cent of the full 250‐μm catalogue. We have estimated photometric redshifts for each of these 2423 reliable counterparts, while 1099 also have spectroscopic redshifts collated from several different sources, including the GAMA survey. We estimate the completeness of identifying counterparts as a function of redshift, and present evidence that 250‐μm‐selected Herschel–ATLAS galaxies have a bimodal redshift distribution. Those with reliable optical identifications have a redshift distribution peaking at z ≈ 0.25 ± 0.05, while submillimetre colours suggest that a significant fraction with no counterpart above the r‐band limit have z > 1. We also suggest a method for selecting populations of strongly lensed high‐redshift galaxies. Our identifications are matched to UV–NIR photometry from the GAMA survey, and these data are available as part of the Herschel–ATLAS public data release.</div></front></TEI><istex><corpusName>wiley</corpusName><author><json:item><name>D.

Of the 6621 250 μm > 32‐mJy sources in our science demonstration catalogue we find that ∼60 per cent have counterparts brighter than r = 22.4 mag in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Applying a likelihood ratio technique we are able to identify 2423 of the counterparts with a reliability R > 0.8. This is approximately 37 per cent of the full 250‐μm catalogue. We have estimated photometric redshifts for each of these 2423 reliable counterparts, while 1099 also have spectroscopic redshifts collated from several different sources, including the GAMA survey. We estimate the completeness of identifying counterparts as a function of redshift, and present evidence that 250‐μm‐selected Herschel–ATLAS galaxies have a bimodal redshift distribution. Those with reliable optical identifications have a redshift distribution peaking at z ≈ 0.25 ± 0.05, while submillimetre colours suggest that a significant fraction with no counterpart above the r‐band limit have z > 1. We also suggest a method for selecting populations of strongly lensed high‐redshift galaxies. Our identifications are matched to UV–NIR photometry from the GAMA survey, and these data are available as part of the Herschel–ATLAS public data release.</p></abstract><textClass xml:lang="en"><keywords scheme="keyword"><list><head>keywords</head><item><term>methods: statistical</term></item><item><term>submillimetre: galaxies</term></item></list></keywords></textClass></profileDesc><revisionDesc><change when="2011-09-11">Published</change></revisionDesc></teiHeader></istex:fulltextTEI><json:item><extension>txt</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>text/plain</mimetype><uri>https://api-v5.istex.fr/document/A0DF6586BAE8156157D7A336C1BD91E5D2E6B5C1/fulltext/txt</uri></json:item></fulltext><metadata><istex:metadataXml wicri:clean="Wiley, elements deleted: body"><istex:xmlDeclaration>version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"</istex:xmlDeclaration><istex:document><component version="2.0" type="serialArticle" xml:lang="en"><header><publicationMeta level="product"><publisherInfo><publisherName>Blackwell Publishing Ltd</publisherName><publisherLoc>Oxford, UK</publisherLoc></publisherInfo><doi origin="wiley" registered="yes">10.1111/(ISSN)1365-2966</doi><issn type="print">0035-8711</issn><issn type="electronic">1365-2966</issn><idGroup><id type="product" value="MNR"></id><id type="publisherDivision" value="ST"></id></idGroup><titleGroup><title type="main" sort="MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY">Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society</title></titleGroup></publicationMeta><publicationMeta level="part" position="09102"><doi origin="wiley">10.1111/mnr.2011.416.issue-2</doi><numberingGroup><numbering type="journalVolume" number="416">416</numbering><numbering type="journalIssue" number="2">2</numbering></numberingGroup><coverDate startDate="2011-09-11">September 2011</coverDate></publicationMeta><publicationMeta level="unit" type="article" position="4" status="forIssue"><doi origin="wiley">10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.18827.x</doi><idGroup><id type="unit" value="MNR18827"></id></idGroup><countGroup><count type="pageTotal" number="16"></count></countGroup><titleGroup><title type="tocHeading1">Papers</title></titleGroup><copyright>© 2011 The Authors Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society © 2011 RAS</copyright><eventGroup><event type="xmlConverted" agent="Converter:BPG_TO_WML3G version:3.0 mode:FullText" date="2011-11-25"></event><event type="publishedOnlineEarlyUnpaginated" date="2011-08-11"></event><event type="publishedOnlineFinalForm" date="2011-09-01"></event><event type="firstOnline" date="2011-08-11"></event><event type="xmlConverted" agent="Converter:WILEY_ML3G_TO_WILEY_ML3GV2 version:3.8.8" date="2014-02-03"></event><event type="xmlConverted" agent="Converter:WML3G_To_WML3G version:4.1.7 mode:FullText,remove_FC" date="2014-10-31"></event></eventGroup><numberingGroup><numbering type="pageFirst" number="857">857</numbering><numbering type="pageLast" number="872">872</numbering></numberingGroup><correspondenceTo> E‐mail: <email>daniel.j.b.smith@gmail.com</email></correspondenceTo><objectNameGroup><objectName elementName="appendix">Appendix</objectName></objectNameGroup><linkGroup><link type="toTypesetVersion" href="file:MNR.MNR18827.pdf"></link></linkGroup></publicationMeta><contentMeta><unparsedEditorialHistory>Accepted 2011 March 29.
