Abstract:
The extragalactic component of the Spitzer First Look Survey (FLS)
reaches the same depth as the deepest ISO surveys yet covers an area
1500  times as large.  It opens up an enormous amount of discovery
space given the increased depth, improved resolution, and areal
coverage that Spitzer provides.  The extragalactic FLS team at the
Spitzer Science Center has been involved in the planning of the survey
since its inception and we have gathered a substantial ancillary data
set, from optical through radio wavelengths, to maximize the science
return of the survey.  We have several science programs underway and a
common feature to most is the need for photometric redshifts for the
thousands of galaxies detected in the survey.  We are requesting one
year of funding for a post-doc to focus on this effort and we will
return to the community via NED a database with the multiwavelength
SEDs and photometric redshifts for the survey galaxies.
