Scientific paper

We propose to obtain mid-infrared spectra for a sample of dusty galaxies in the Spitzer First Look Survey. We specifically target reddened starbursts in the unexplored epoch from z ~ 1 - 2 by using a24-micron to R-band and 24-micron to 8-micron color-color cut. Our targets are selected to have 24-micron flux brighter than 1 mJy. The proposed IRS data will allow us to cleanly separate AGNs from starbursts, and measure the mid-infrared luminosity function and infrared luminosity density due to star formation alone. We will determine the evolution of dusty galaxies at 1
