Abstract
We apply an evolutionary SED model of starbursts to submm galaxies, in order to predict the present-day colour, magnitude, and size of submm galaxies. The reproduced colour-magnitude and size-magnitude relation of present-day descendants of submm galaxies suggest that they are progenitor of L* elliptical galaxies on average, if the IMF of submm galaxies is slightly flatter than the Salpeter IMF.
