The potential forPlanckto detect clusters of dusty, star-forming galaxies atz> 1 is tested by examining theHerschel-SPIRE images ofPlanckEarly Release Compact Source Catalog sources lying in fields observed by theHerschelMultitiered Extragalactic Survey. Of the 16Plancksources that lie in the ∼90 sq. deg. examined, we find that 12 are associated with single brightHerschelsources. The remaining four are associated with overdensities ofHerschelsources, making them candidate clusters of dusty, star-forming galaxies. We use complementary optical/near-IR data for these ‘clumps’ to test this idea, and find evidence for the presence of galaxy clusters in all four cases. We use photometric redshifts and red sequence galaxies to estimate the redshifts of these clusters, finding that they range from 0.8 to 2.3. These redshifts imply that theHerschelsources in these clusters, which contribute to the detectedPlanckflux, are forming stars very rapidly, with typical total cluster star formation rates >1000 M⊙yr−1. The high-redshift clusters discovered in these observations are used to constrain the epoch of cluster galaxy formation, finding that the galaxies in our clusters are 1–1.5 Gyr old atz∼ 1–2. Prospects for the discovery of further clusters of dusty galaxies are discussed, using not only all skyPlancksurveys, but also deeper, smaller area,Herschelsurveys.
