We analyze the sub-millimeter (submm) continuum emission from the radio galaxy Cygnus A, using data from the SCUBA Camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope to the SPIRE Camera on Herschel Space Observatory. The data span over a decade of observations and provide the tightest constraints of the nature of the submm continuum emission from this and similar galaxies.
