| Abstract: |
The Spitzer Extended Deep Survey (SEDS) will provide a unique
opportunity to obtain the first complete census of the assembly of
stellar mass and black holes as a function of cosmic time back to
the era of reionization, yielding unique information on galaxy
formation in the early Universe. The survey will also measure
galaxy clustering over a wide redshift range, which will provide the
critical link between galaxies and their dark matter halos and
critical tests of models of early star formation. SEDS will achieve
these goals by tracing the stellar mass growth in mass-selected
samples of galaxies via their broadband spectral energy
distributions. SEDS is an unbiased survey using the Spitzer Space
Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) at 3.6 and 4.5 microns, with
12 hours/pointing, over five well-studied fields of 0.90 square
degree total, requiring 2108 hours of observation. It is a unique
program that will leave an important legacy for years to come. |
