===================================================================== == in this proposal, more time is being requested for mgerin.dust_hiz == the sample has been enlarged and the instrumental configuration changed. ===================================================================== we propose in this proposal to investigate the dust properties of distant iras galaxies (z =0.3, 0.6, 0.93 and 2.6) by looking for the presence of the uibs in their spectrum. the presence of these features and the detailed spectrum will give a good assessment on the nature of dust grains in these distant galaxies. we shall also measure the overall shape of the spectrum in the infrared, a very important ingredient in the interpretation of faint galaxy counts and in the prediction of the extragalactic background in the infrared.

Mission Description
The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was the worlds first true orbiting infrared observatory. Equipped with four highly-sophisticated and versatile scientific instruments, it was launched by Ariane in November 1995 and provided astronomers world-wide with a facility of unprecedented sensitivity and capabilities for a detailed exploration of the Universe at infrared wavelengths.
