Optically selected rest-frame UV-bright galaxies are a key component of the z~1.5-3 high redshift galaxy population. No understanding of the evolution of cosmic star formation or mass assembly can be obtained without them. Initial Herschel results find a discrepancy between their total infrared luminosity as estimated by extrapolation from the mid-IR and the directly measured rest-frame far-infrared, suggesting changed SEDs compared to local objects of similar luminosity. Because high fidelity individual Herschel SEDs cannot be obtained for the typical UV-bright galaxy from blank field surveys, we here describe a project to obtain full PACS/SPIRE SEDs for a sample of 16 strongly lensed UV-bright objects, found behind massive lensing clusters as well as behind individual lensing SDSS galaxies.

Mission Description
Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009! It is the fourth cornerstone mission in the ESA science programme. With a 3.5 m Cassegrain telescope it is the largest space telescope ever launched. It is performing photometry and spectroscopy in approximately the 55-671 µm range, bridging the gap between earlier infrared space missions and groundbased facilities.
