Scientific paper

We propose deep IRAC 3.6 micron followup of the most extreme sources which were detected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) at 12 (W3) or 22 (W4) microns but not at 3.4 (W1) or 4.6 (W2) microns. These W1W2drops are the most reliable sample of redshift 2 infrared luminous galaxies yet identified in the WISE data, and are the target of a cycle 7 snapshot program with IRAC which is detecting 95% of the population in five 30 second exposures. By reobserving the 5% which are not well detected with IRAC using 8 times longer exposures, we expect to obtain 5 sigma or better measurements of essentially all of the few dozen most extreme such sources in the Universe. The measurements will constrain their stellar populations and redefine the range that needs to be accommodated by scenarios for AGN and galaxy formation.
