Physics

Scientific paper

We request 34.9 hours of Spitzer time to obtain mid-infrared IRS LL1 spectra of 16 extreme (f(24)/f(R) > 1000) infrared sources selected from the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey Bootes field. Each target displays a 1.6 micron rest-frame stellar bump indicating that 1) it has a redshift in the range 2 < z < 3; and 2) its infrared luminosity is primarily generated by reprocessed starlight, rather than AGN-heated dust. These spectra will allow us to study the mid-infrared properties of the most luminous starburst-dominated galaxies to z=3. We will also confirm the stellar bump as an indicator of starburst domination and calibrate the bump photometric redshifts for extreme, high redshift sources.
