Abstract
WeFootnote 1 report deep submm mapping of 7 high-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs). These data confirm not only the presence of spatially extended massive star-formation activity in the radio galaxies themselves, but also in companion objects previously undetected at any wavelength. The prevalence, orientation, and inferred masses of these companion galaxies suggest that we are witnessing the synchronous formation of the most luminous elliptical galaxies found today at the centres of rich galaxy clusters.
