We propose to analyze the infrared properties of a large sample of 10,000 radio sources within the principal SIRTF-First Look Survey. Our focus primarily will be on the far infrared photometry at 24, 70, and 160 microns of these radio objects selected at 1.4 GHz above 80 muJy. This study will constitute the single largest microJy radio sample to date allowing for characterization of their optical identifications, and source of radio-FIR radiation as primarily star-forming and/or non-thermal via AGN activity. We will create the following data products for dissemination to the astronomical community: 1) a catalog of 6,000 radio objects identified in the SIRTF-FLS survey above 80 muJy complete with radio, optical, X-ray, near and far infrared photometry and redshifts (or limits) where possible. 2) An aggregate and bi-variate radio and far-infrared luminosity function constructed from the complete sample of 3565 radio sources between redshifts of 0.1 to 3 to an accuracy of 10% or better. 3) An angular correlation function and study of the clustering properties of radio and infrared selected galaxies over spatial distances of 1-100 Mpc. 4) A list of unusual objects based on extreme colors and radio/optical properties for follow-up.
