Why do we do redshift survey for IR selected sources?

50% of total energy is at far-IR

1) High z galaxies

2) Cold dusty galaxies

Dole et al. 2005

Wide-Field REDSHIFT Surveys

• 2DFGRS (B<19.45)• SDSS (R<17.77)• No wide-field redshift survey specifically for IR

sources• Are SDSS and 2DFGRS deeper enough for IR

sources?

R-F24 for galaxies in the Lockman Hole region(~10 deg^2)

SDSS

Redshift Survey in the SWIRE and FLS Regions

• Will measure spectra for 20000 IR-selected sources (F24>0.4 mJy) in EN1, EN2, Lockman, FLS, and XMM-LSS( ~ 30 deg^2)

• Will yield 5000 LIRGs • 400 ULIRGs at z<1.• 900 IR-selected QSO at 1<z<3• Spectra for the coming

Herschel sources
