LMT advantage - sensitivity & resolution<br />

• Resolution of 10-25m diameter telescopes at sub-mm<br />

wavelengths imply confusion-limits > 1mJy<br />

- CSO, HHT, ASTE, APEX, JCMT, CCAT<br />

• Confusion-limits and short-submm ( 6, unless SFR >> 1000 M ◎ /yr<br />

• Lower LMT confusion limits (~0.1 mJy) & longer-λ<br />

allow more moderate SFRs (few 10’s M ◎ /yr) to be<br />

detected by LMT in the first galaxies at z > 6
