Physics

Scientific paper

We request 9 hours of IRS spectrscopy to follow up strongly silicate absorbing ULIRGs at z~1.5. We have previously obtained 16 and 24 micron imaging of targets in the Bootes field to look for the sources with the most extreme 16/24 color. These are expected to be the signature of strong silicate absorption redshifted into the 24 micron filter. These sources are likely to be obscured AGN. The fraction of such AGN at z>1 has important implications for the sources of the IR and X-ray background.
