| Description | The South Pole Telescope has conducted a large survey of the southern sky atmillimeter wavelengths and discovered a population of high-redshiftstrongly-lensed dusty star forming galaxies. Both the lensing and thelong wavelength selection biases these sources to the highest redshiftand their apparent luminosity makes them the most best possiblecandidates for SPIRE FTS spectroscopy. By combining the uniquecapabilities of SPT as a survey machine and Herschel as a followupspectroscopy machine, we propose to obtain spectra for five of thebrightest lensed sources in the sky. These observations will open anew astrophysical window into the study of young star forminggalaxies. The ratios of far-IR lines will provide ground-breakingphysical information about this earliest stage of galaxy evolution,including the best measures of how star formation is proceeding, dustemission and absorption properties, the detailed physics of the ISM,and also the quantitative contribution of the emission that comes fromblack hole accretion in an obscured AGN for these high redshiftsources. |

| 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. |
