Abstract

We discuss the progress of the SCUBA Local Universe Galaxy Survey (SLUGS), the first large, statistical sub-mm survey of the local universe. Since our original survey of a sample of 104 IRAS-selected galaxies we have recently completed a sample of 78 Optically-Selected galaxies. Since SCUBA is sensitive to the large proportion of dust too cold to be detected by IRAS the addition of this opticallyselected sample allows us for the first time to determine the amount of cold dust in galaxies of different Hubble types. We detect 6 ellipticals in the sample and find them to have dust masses in excess of 107 M ⊙. We derive local sub-mm luminosity functions, both directly for the two samples, and by extrapolation from the IRAS PSCz, and find excellent agreement.
