Scientific paper

The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) launched on 2009 Dec. 14, and has now surveyed over 57% of the sky at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 microns. By July oit have completed its first coverage of the entire sky. WISE observations will be used to select 1000 objects which are robustly detected at 12 or 22 microns, but not in either 3.4 or 4.6 microns. Most such sources are likely to be dust obscured AGN or starburst galaxies at z ~ 2, one of the two primary science objectives for WISE. Spitzer IRAC snapshot observations will provide sensitivities at 3.6 and 4.5 microns over 10 times fainter than WISE for 500 of these sources, providing basic SED information for classifying these objects as starburst or AGN dominated, allowing their environments to be assessed, and extending the obscurations, luminosities, and star formation rates for ULIRGs into uncharted terrain.
