Scientific paper

The Spitzer Extended Deep Survey (SEDS) will provide a unique opportunity to obtain the first complete census of the assembly of stellar mass and black holes as a function of cosmic time back to the era of reionization, yielding unique information on galaxy formation in the early Universe. The survey will also measure galaxy clustering over a wide redshift range, which will provide the critical link between galaxies and their dark matter halos and critical tests of models of early star formation. SEDS will achieve these goals by tracing the stellar mass growth in mass-selected samples of galaxies via their broadband spectral energy distributions. SEDS is an unbiased survey using the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) at 3.6 and 4.5 microns, with 12 hours/pointing, over five well-studied fields of 0.90 square degree total, requiring 2108 hours of observation. It is a unique program that will leave an important legacy for years to come.
