we propose to use iso to study the fir energy distribution and to determine the fir luminosity function for high redshift(z > 4) radio quiet qsos as part of a systematic investigation into the molecular content, dust mass, dust emissivity and dynamics of high redshift objects. the targets will be selected from a sample of the known virgul60 radio quiet qsos with z > 4. observing priorities will be based on their iso visibility, optical luminosities, and previous submm/mm observations at the iram 30m and jcmt to maximise the scientific impact. note: this proposal is not asking for time to observe all 48 targets that are listed in the observation_summary_form. time is requested for 10 targets.

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.
