Scientific paper

We are requesting 29.6 hours of observations with MIPS in order to study the star formation rates of galaxies out to the infall regions (30'x30') of 4 well-studied high redshift (z = 0.8) clusters from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS). These observations will provide star formation rates that are unbiased by dust for galaxies in a wide range of local environments, and for clusters with a variety of masses. Our goals are to establish the dependence of galaxy star formation rates on local galaxy density at z=0.8, determine whether there are environments where the star formation is enhanced over the field, and understand how dust obscuration depends upon environment.
