We present SHARC-2 350 µm data on 20 luminous z ∼ 2 starbursts with S_1.2 mm_> 2 mJy from the Spitzer-selected samples of Lonsdale et al. and Fiolet et al. All the sources were detected, with S_350 µm_> 25 mJy for 18 of them. With the data, we determine precise dust temperatures and luminosities for these galaxies using both single-temperature fits and models with power-law mass-temperature distributions. We derive appropriate formulae to use when optical depths are non-negligible. Our models provide an excellent fit to the 6 µm-2 mm measurements of local starbursts. We find characteristic single-component temperatures T₁=~ 35.5±2.2 K and integrated infrared (IR) luminosities around 10^12.9±0.1 L_☉ for the SWIRE-selected sources. Molecular gas masses are estimated at =~4x10¹⁰ M_☉, assuming κ_850 µm_= 0.15 m2/kg and a submillimeter-selected galaxy (SMG)-like gas-to-dust mass ratio. The best-fit models imply ≳2 kpc emission scales. We also note a tight correlation between rest-frame 1.4 GHz radio and IR luminosities confirming star formation as the predominant power source. The far-IR properties of our sample are indistinguishable from the purely submillimeter-selected populations from current surveys. We therefore conclude that our original selection criteria, based on mid-IR colors and 24 µm flux densities, provides an effective means for the study of SMGs at z ∼ 1.5-2.5.
