The source counts of galaxies discovered at submillimetre and millimetre wavelengths provide important information on the evolution of infrared-bright galaxies. We combine the data from six blank-field surveys carried out at 1.1mm with AzTEC, totalling 1.6deg in area with root-mean-square depths ranging from 0.4 to 1.7mJy, and derive the strongest constraints to date on the 1.1 mm source counts at flux densities S = 1-12mJy. Using additional data from the AzTEC Cluster Environment Survey to extend the counts to S ∼ 20mJy, we see tentative evidence for an enhancement relative to the exponential drop in the counts at S ∼ …

We report the results of the counterpart identification and a detailed analysis of the physical properties of the 48 sources discovered in our deep 1.1-mm wavelength imaging survey of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-South (GOODS-S) field using the AzTEC instrument on the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment. One or more robust or tentative counterpart candidate is found for 27 and 14 AzTEC sources, respectively, by employing deep radio continuum, Spitzer/Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer and Infrared Array Camera, and Large APEX Bolometer Camera 870μm data. Five of the sources (10 per cent) have two robust counterparts each, supporting the idea …
