Interpreting surveys of galaxies which span a range of redshifts requires being able to interpret broad-band observations of galaxies taken through different effective rest-frame bandpasses. All claims of evolution of the galaxy population rely on accurate K-corrections in order to do this. The PI has written widely used software (over 100 registered users and over 100 citations in the literature) for calculating K-corrections in the UV, optical and near-infrared, and proposes to extend this software to self-consistently include the mid and far-infrared. Large public Spitzer surveys like the First Look Survey and SWIRE overlap deep (to redshift unity) public redshift catalogs, and provide an excellent basis for developing these tools. This proposal outlines a plan for developing and testing an appropriate set of templates for fitting SEDs and calculating K-corrections. The tools (in addition to furthering the PI's own work on galaxy evolution) will be publicly released.
