Spitzer Space Telescope − Guaranteed Time Observer Proposal #214<br />

IRAC and MIPS imaging <strong>of</strong> the HDF_S<br />

Principal Investigator: Giovanni Fazio<br />

Science Category: high−z galaxies (z>0.5)<br />

Observing Modes: IracMap MipsPhot<br />

Hours Approved: 14.0<br />

Abstract:<br />

We will image the WFPC2 field <strong>of</strong> the Hubble Deep Field South with IRAC, in four<br />

bands (3.5−8 micron). Combined with the ultra−deep VLT near−infrared imaging, we<br />

will determine the spectral energy distributions <strong>of</strong> the high redshift galaxies<br />

to the restframe K band. These SED’s will be modeled using stellar population<br />

synthesis models.<br />

Science Category: high−z galaxies (z>0.5)<br />

Observing Modes: IrsMap<br />

Hours Approved: 22.1<br />

Abstract:<br />

More and more galaxies at z>2 are detected at 24 micron. Energy sources which<br />

power the emission at 24micron remain unknown for most <strong>of</strong> those galaxies.<br />

Previous IRS studies <strong>of</strong> objects at high red shifts focused on extreme red and 24<br />

micron luminous objects, and found that most <strong>of</strong> them are AGN. We propose IRS<br />

observations on a sample <strong>of</strong> massive galaxies at 2.50.5 mJy, and f(20cm)>0.02mJy. That most massive galaxies are<br />

detected at 24micron implies a rapid star formation occuring on these galaxies.<br />

The high star formation rate helps to explain the formation <strong>of</strong> massive galaxies<br />

at high redshifts. Nevertheless AGN contribution to the 24micron flux cannot be<br />

ruled out. The IRS spectroscopy is essential in understanding various energy<br />

sources contributing to the 24micron flux <strong>of</strong> massive galaxies. Combining both<br />

the PAH emission flux at 7.7 microns and the 20cm flux density, we will be able<br />

to obtain a better star formation rate for these massive galaxies.<br />
