A 15um selected sample of high-z starbursts and AGNs

A. Hernan-Caballero, I. Perez-Fournon, M. Rowan-Robinson +19

We report results from a Spitzer GO-1 program of IRS spectroscopy of a large sample of Luminous Infrared Galaxies and quasars selected from the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAI…

Luminosity functions for galaxies and quasars in the Spitzer Wide-Area Infrared Extra-galactic (SWIRE) Legacy survey

T. S. R. Babbedge, M. Rowan-Robinson, M. Vaccari +18

We construct rest-frame luminosity functions at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8 and 24 microns over the redshift range 0<z<2 for galaxies and 0<z<4 for optical QSOs, using optical and infrared da…

Parametric modelling of the 3.6um to 8um colour distributions of galaxies in the SWIRE Survey

Payam Davoodi, Seb Oliver, Maria del Carmen Polletta +15

We fit a parametric model comprising a mixture of multi-dimensional Gaussian functions to the 3.6 to 8um colour and optical photo-z distribution of galaxy populations in the ELAIS-…

The z=3 QSO Luminosity Function with SWIRE

B. Siana, M. Polletta, H. E. Smith +8

We use a simple optical/infrared photometric selection of high redshift QSOs which identifies a Lyman Break in the optical and requires a red IRAC color to distinguish QSOs from co…

Understanding Infrared Galaxy Populations: the SWIRE Legacy Survey

Michael Rowan-Robinson, Carol Lonsdale, Gene Smith +21

We discuss spectral energy distributions, photometric redshifts, redshift distributions, luminosity functions, source-counts and the far infrared to optical luminosity ratio for so…

Chandra and Spitzer unveil heavily obscured quasars in the SWIRE/Chandra Survey

M. Polletta, B. J. Wilkes, B. Siana +18

Using the large multi-wavelength data set in the chandra/SWIRE Survey (0.6 square degrees in the Lockman Hole), we show evidence for the existence of highly obscured (Compton-thick…
