30 May 2012 | | Abstract: | We present 1.2mm MAMBO-2 observations of a field which is over-dense in Lyman
Break Galaxies (LBGs) at z~5. The field includes seven
spectroscopically-confirmed LBGs contained within a narrow (z=4.95+/-0.08)
redshift range and an eighth at z=5.2. We do not detect any individual source
to a limit of 1.6 mJy/beam (2*rms). When stacking the flux from the positions
of all eight galaxies, we obtain a limit to the average 1.2 mm flux of these
sources of 0.6mJy/beam. This limit is consistent with FIR imaging in other
fields which are over-dense in UV-bright galaxies at z~5. Independently and
combined, these limits constrain the FIR luminosity (8-1000 micron) to a
typical z~5 LBG of LFIR<~3x10^11 Lsun, implying a dust mass of Mdust<~10^8 Msun
(both assuming a grey body at 30K). This LFIR limit is an order of magnitude
fainter than the LFIR of lower redshift sub-mm sources (z~1-3). We see no
emission from any other sources within the field at the above level. While this
is not unexpected given millimetre source counts, the clustered LBGs trace
significantly over-dense large scale structure in the field at z = 4.95. The
lack of any such detection in either this or the previous work, implies that
massive, obscured star-forming galaxies may not always trace the same
structures as over-densities of LBGs, at least on the length scale probed here.
We briefly discuss the implications of these results for future observations
