we propose to obtain broad-band photometry with isophot for the z=2.76 radio galaxy mg1019+0535 (dey et al 1994). we strongly suspect this galaxy to be dusty because the strength of its narrow lyman-alpha emission line is far below normal compared to the strengths of the heii and ciii emission lines. we wish to determine the mass of cool dust and the gas-to-dust ratio in this high redshift galaxy by iso photometry at 60, 90 and 160 microns (observer.s frame). this galaxy provides a unique opportunity to quantitatively examine the dust emission from a luminous galaxy where lyman-alpha is weakened by the combination of resonance line scattering and dust absorption, and to study the properties of dust in the early universe.

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.
