We present the results of the first major systematic submillimetre survey of radio galaxies spanning the redshift range 1 2.5, and the average submillimetre luminosity rises at a rate ∝(1+z)3 out to z≃4. Moreover, our extensive sample allows us to argue that this behaviour is not driven by underlying correlations with other radio galaxy properties such as radio power, radio spectral index, or radio source size/age. Although radio selection may introduce other more subtle biases, the redshift distribution of our detected objects is in fact consistent with the most recent estimates of the redshift distribution of comparably bright submillimetre sources discovered in blank field surveys. The evolution of submillimetre luminosity found here for radio galaxies may thus be representative of massive ellipticals in general.

A 158 μm [C ii] LINE SURVEY OF GALAXIES AT z ∼ 1–2: AN INDICATOR OF STAR FORMATION IN THE EARLY UNIVERSE (2010, background): “3C368 was detected by ISO at 4.8, 7.3, and 60 μm (Meisenheimer et al. 2001), by Spitzer in the IRAC bands and the MIPS bands at 24 and 70 μm (Seymour et al. 2007), and at 850 μm (Archibald et al. 2001).”

(2006, background): “HzRG’s at z > 2 3 also contain large masses of molecular gas (1011 M ; e.g., Röttgering et al. 1997), dust (108–109 M ; e.g., Archibald et al. 2001; Reuland et al. 2004), and UV/optical line-emitting gas (108–109 M ; e.g., van Oijk et al. 1997).”
The star formation activity of IllustrisTNG galaxies: main sequence, UVJ diagram, quenched fractions, and systematics (2018, background): “For the emission in the IR band, the major contamination is thought to be the contribution of synchrotron radiation to the longwavelength thermal dust emission: if not well-constrained, the latter can lead to an over estimation of the galaxies’ SFR (Archibald et al. 2001; Falkendal et al. 2018).”
What drives the growth of black holes (2011, result): “…of AGNs of all classes are found to increase with redshift, in general agreement with the broad trend found for the overall galaxy population (e.g., Archibald et al., 2001; Serjeant & Hatziminaoglou, 2009; Mullaney et al., 2010, 2011b; Lutz et al., 2010; Shao et al., 2010; Xue et al., 2010;…”

The first appearance of the red sequence of galaxies in proto-clusters at 2 <~ z <~ 3 (2007, background): “Also, there is a dramatic evolution in dusty star formation activity in the central radio galaxies themselves; their detection rate at submm wavelength rises from 15 per cent at z < 2.5 to > 75 per cent at z > 2.5 (Archibald et al. 2001; Reuland et al. 2004).”
Properties of Lyα emitters around the radio galaxy MRC 0316 257 (2005, background): “…have high star formation rates (> 100M⊙ yr −1), based on deep spectra of their UV continuum (e.g. Dey et al., 1997) and the detections of dust (e.g. Archibald et al., 2001; Stevens et al., 2003; Reuland et al., 2004) and extended CO emission (Papadopoulos et al., 2000; De Breuck et al., 2003a,b).”
Near-infrared imaging and the K—z relation for radio galaxies in the 7C Redshift Survey (2002, background): “…this case, the typically higher radio luminosities of galaxies of a certain mass at higher redshifts may be simply a consequence of a higher average accretion rate on to a black hole of given mass, perhaps owing to the greater mass of gas available to fuel the activity (e.g. Archibald et al. 2001).”
Evidence for powerful AGN winds at high redshift: dynamics of galactic outflows in radio galaxies during the “Quasar Era” (2008, background): “…for the evolution of the host galaxy, and it is interesting in this context that some HzRGs show the signs of strong star-formation (like large reservoirs of molecular gas, strong PAH and submillimeter emission, Archibald et al. 2001; Reuland et al. 2004; Seymour et al. 2008), while others do not.”

Distant radio galaxies and their environments (2008, background): “This indicates that the dust temperatures are relatively cool, ∼ 50K, consistent with starburst-heated emission (e.g. Archibald et al 2001; Stevens et al 2003; Reuland et al 2004).”
Deep radio imaging of the SCUBA 8-mJy survey fields: submillimetre source identifications and redshift distribution (2002, background): “Equally, if the bulk of the bolometric luminosity of this population derives from gravitational accretion onto black holes then they clearly represent a crucial phase in the formation of SMBH and the evolution of QSOs and powerful radio galaxies (Archibald et al. 2001; Page et al. 2001).”
