Title: Spectroscopy of Infrared Galaxies in Clusters to z = 1
Abstract:
We are conducting a multi-wavelength study of a unique sample of galaxy
clusters over the redshift range 0.3 < z < 1.1. A key component of this
program is infrared imaging with the Spitzer Space Telescope at 24microns,
which is sensitive to dust enshrouded star formation activity. Here we
propose to obtain deep spectroscopic observations of a luminosity limited
sample of infrared sources within the cluster fields, which are key to
studying the evolution of the infrared galaxy population within clusters with
redshift, in comparison to the field, and as a function of cluster
properties, such as mass and dynamcal state. This will elucidate the nature
and origin of the infrared galaxies in clusters, in the context of
hierarchical formation and galaxy evolution in high-density regions. Our
sample is unique in having the mass, redshift, and multi-wavelength coverage
to address these important scientific issues.
