Scientific paper

It is proposed to obtain deep images of the extragalactic sky using the FOC on HST. These will reach a limiting magnitude of about 27.0 on the AB system and will complement existing ground-based data that reaches a comparable depth in the optical U, B, V and I bands and in the infrared K band. These data will thus extend our photo-metric survey to a full decade of wavelength. The data will define (a) where and at what rate star-formation is occuring in the Universe at redshifts around z = 0.5 and (b) will define the spectral energy distributions and hence constrain the redshifts of the population of very blue "flat-spectrum" galaxies. We propose to observe one more ground-based survey fields to complement our Cycle 1 program 2365 which is obtaining similar data on the first two of our survey fields.
