(2) Identified 42 quasars in AKARI all-sky 90 micron catalogue. Prepared SEDs and possible optical-FIR correlation for quasars (to do follow up observations)
(3) Identified most distant H-alpha lines for SFGs at z=3.5 (>11 billions yrs ago) using NIR spectroscopy; found dusty quasars in 2 radio galaxies; submm galaxies associated with HzRGs; wrote new pipeline including GUI (paper about to be submitted)
(1) Identified 389 redshifts in AKARI SEP field and prepared local 90 micron luminosity function (Sedgwick et al. 2011 MNRAS)
