Scientific paper

We propose to obtain 16 micron imaging of the entire Northern GOODS field (150 square arcmin) to a depth of 33 microJy (3sigma) using the IRS Blue Peak Up imaging capability. These data will fill in the gap in wavelength coverage between the IRAC 8 micron and the MIPS 24 micron imaging of the field. Deep 16 micron data is needed in order to disentangle the combined influences of the 9.7 micron silicate absorption feature and warm dust continuum which fall in the 24 micron filter at 11 ULIRGs and LIRGs than have previously been detected at this wavelength. The dataset will also be applicable to a broad range of other topics including the correlation of SFR with merger activity and the search for highly extincted AGN. We note that the GOODS-North has the advantage of the deepest Chandra pointing (2 Ms), which will be needed to constrain the AGN properties of the faintest sources. We will release fully calibrated mosaics and catalogs through GOODS.
