Scientific paper

We propose IRS spectroscopy and IRAC and MIPS photometry of two newly discovered bright strongly lensed Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). These two LBGs are of comparable brightness to the oft-studied MS 1512-cB58, but appear in much greater isolation with respect to the lensing foreground. In particular, both are well isolated from their respective lensing cluster's central galaxies, even at Spitzer spatial resolution at longer wavelengths. Observations of strongly lensed galaxies such as those proposed here offer a unique and direct window into the spectral properties of starforming galaxies in situ at the peak of the universe's star formation history.
