Additional information
This 3-Ms survey involved annual proposals over four years, Smail led one and co-wrote the others. Smail was chosen to lead the publication of the completed survey and worked closely with the PhD student lead-author on all aspects of the analysis and interpretation: specifically the discussion of the dynamical and gas masses (Section 4) and the relation of black hole to dynamical masses in submillimetre galaxies (Section 5). Smail identified the relation between CO line width and line flux in these systems presented here, which is being increasingly exploited in studies of lensed sources to estimate their gravitational amplifications.
