We propose to obtain 16 micron imaging of the UDF and Southern GOODS field, 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. The 16 micron imaging is crucial to accurately calibrate mid-IR dust emission as a tracer of star formation at high redshift. This calibration is necessary not only for the proposed program, but for 24 micron imaging of z>1 sources in GOODS and other deep surveys as well. We will measure the global density of dust enshrouded star formation at its apparent peak near z=1. 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. Some effort by the team will be required to reduce the non-standard 16 micron data. We will release fully calibrated mosaics through the GOODS multi-observatory data archive.
