Spitzer_Approved_Extragalactic Mar 25, 10 16:24 Page 719/742 Spitzer Space Telescope − General Observer Proposal #20542 Selecting dusty starburst galaxies at z=1.5 using a silicate absorption feature Principal Investigator: Colin Borys Institution: Caltech Technical Contact: Duncan Farrah, Cornell University Co−Investigators: Duncan Farrah, Infrared Processing and Analysis Center Philip Choi, Spitzer Science Center Dave Frayer, Spitzer Science Center Science Category: starburst galaxies Observing Modes: IrsStare Hours Approved: 18.4 Abstract: We propose Spitzer IRS spectroscopy of a sample of 15 high redshift dusty starburst galaxies. The sample, drawn from the SWIRE and FLS surveys, is based on a silicate absorption feature at 9.7 microns being redshifted into the MIPS 24 micron band. Thus, the objects should all be around a redshift of z=1.5. This is a traditionally difficult epoch to obtain optical spectra of galaxies, and is known as the "redshift desert". Our proposed observations will validate the selection technique and, if successful, allow us to draw samples of hundreds of z=1.5 dusty starburst galaxies contained in the rich spitzer Legacy data sets. Spitzer_Approved_Extragalactic Printed_by_SSC Mar 25, 10 16:24 Page 720/742 Spitzer Space Telescope − General Observer Proposal #20767 Mid−IR spectroscopy of suspected very hot dusty, high−z galaxies Principal Investigator: Scott Chapman Institution: Caltech Technical Contact: Scott Chapman, Caltech Co−Investigators: Andrew Blain, Caltech Ian Smail, U.Durham Rob Ivison, U.Edinburgh Science Category: starburst galaxies Observing Modes: IrsStare Hours Approved: 23.7 Abstract: We have identified a population of high−redshift microJy radio sources which have optical and near−IR photometric and spectroscopic properties characteristic of dusty luminous starbursts, and whose radio emission is as intense as expected from this class of galaxy, but which have no detectable submm emission from cool dust. As these galaxies are detected with ~0.5mJy 24micron fluxes, we propose that they are a new class of luminous dusty starbursts with characteristic dust temperatures that are hotter than the similarly high−redshift ultraluminous submillimeter−selected galaxies (SMGs) identified in deep submm surveys. The radio emission from these submm−faint radio galaxies indicates far−IR luminosities that are comparable to those of the SMGs. We propose Spitzer IRS observations of 6 of these galaxies to to probe the intense mid−IR emission from these galaxies for signatures of their power source. We expect that large numbers of these galaxies will be detected in mid−IR Spitzer surveys, and we can rapidly and efficiently define their observational characteristics by exploiting our existing radio−selected spectroscopic sample.

Spitzer_Approved_Extragalactic Mar 25, 10 16:24 Page 721/742 Spitzer Space Telescope − General Observer Proposal #30510 NeV and OIV in Wolf−Rayet Galaxies Principal Investigator: Daniel Devost Institution: Cornell University Technical Contact: Daniel Devost, Cornell University Co−Investigators: Claus Leitherer, Space Telescope Science Institute David Whelan, Cornell University Lei Hao, Cornell University Science Category: starburst galaxies Observing Modes: IrsStare Hours Approved: 39.3 Abstract: We propose to investigate the occurrence of the highly excited OIV and NeV lines in a small but well−defined sample of Wolf−Rayet (W−R) galaxies selected from their optical emission lines, starburst size, and abundances. Our observations will help shed more light on the long standing question of the excitation mechanism of OIV in star forming regions. At the same time, we will be able to perform quantitative tests of models predicting the strength of NeV emission in regions solely powered by stars.

Circumnuclear starbursts impact the evolution of both the host galaxy and the central engine and uniquely contributes to the far−infrared. Unfortunately, quality measurements of the nuclear mid−far infrared SED is available only for a handful of "famous" Seyferts, but most measurements are limited by poor spectral sampling (e.g., broadband photometry only) and large apertures (~ 100" ISO and IRAS beams). We propose IRAC, IRS spectral mapping, and MIPS SED measurements of a well−defined sample of Seyfert galaxies with the goal of providing a database suitable for detailed modeling and decomposition of the nuclear emission, including the torus and circumnuclear starburst contributions. The spectral database will allow a statistical study of the evolution of the starburst and active nucleus. Spectral mapping techniques will provide detailed SEDs over 3−99 m in a 20" aperture, which corresponds to the inner < 3 kpc for 75% of the sample. Thursday March 25, 2010 xgal_covers.txt 361/371
