<i>Spitzer</i>Mid‐Infrared Spectroscopy of Infrared Luminous Galaxies at<i>z</i>∼ 2. I. The Spectra

We present the mid-infrared spectra obtained with the Spitzer IRS for 52 sources, selected as infrared luminous, z ≳ 1 candidates in the Extragalactic First Look Survey. The sample selection criteria are f24 μm ≳ 0.9 mJy, νfν(24 μm)/νfν(8 μm) ≳ 3.16, and νfν(24 μm)/νfν(0.7 μm) ≳ 10. Of the …
