Language: English Date of Publication (YYYY-MM-DD): 2010 Title of Journal: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Journal Abbrev.: MNRAS Volume: 402 Issue / Number: 1 Start Page: 245 End Page: 258 Review Status: Peer-review Audience: Experts Only Abstract / Description: We investigate the correlation between far-infrared (FIR) and radio luminosities in distant galaxies, a lynchpin of modern astronomy. We use data from the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimetre Telescope (BLAST), Spitzer, the Large Apex BOlometer CamerA (LABOCA), the Very Large Array and the Giant Metre-wave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS). For a catalogue of BLAST 250-μm-selected galaxies, we remeasure the 70-870-μm flux densities at the positions of their most likely 24-μm counterparts, which have a median [interquartile] redshift of 0.74 [0.25, 1.57]. From these, we determine the monochromatic flux density ratio, q250(= log10 [S250μm/S1400MHz]), and the bolometric equivalent, qIR. At z ~ 0.6, where our 250-μm filter probes rest-frame 160-μm emission, we find no evolution relative to q160 for local galaxies. We also stack the FIR and submm images at the positions of 24-μm- and radio-selected galaxies. The difference between qIR seen for 250-μm- and radio-selected galaxies suggests that star formation provides most of the IR luminosity in <~100-μJy radio galaxies, but rather less for those in the mJy regime. For the 24-μm sample, the radio spectral index is constant across 0 < z < 3, but qIR exhibits tentative evidence of a steady decline such that qIR ~ (1 + z)-0.15+/-0.03 - significant evolution, spanning the epoch of galaxy formation, with major implications for techniques that rely on the FIR/radio correlation. We compare with model predictions and speculate that we may be seeing the increase in radio activity that gives rise to the radio background.
