Abstract
Submillimeter galaxies represent the most active sites of dusty star formation at high redshifts. They have an important role in the study of the assembly of stellar mass and the evolution of massive galaxies in the Universe. However, detailed studies of their intrinsic properties have not been possible with the early instruments due to poor spatial resolution, low sensitivity, or both. We can circumvent these difficulties by studying submillimeter galaxies that are gravitationally lensed and/or by using interferometry. In this seminar, I will present the reconstruction of the emission of strongly lensed submillimeter galaxies discovered by the Herschel-ATLAS survey and observed with ALMA. The results reveal the complex nature of these sources and show the power of combining strong lensing and interferometry to study star formation and the interstellar medium in the high-redshift Universe. I will also present a method for lens modelling that operates in the Fourier domain native to the interferometers.
