J/arXiv/1106.3285 PEP SDP (Stefano Berta, 17 June 2011) ================================================================================ The PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP) - a Herschel key program D. Lutz, et al. =2011arXiv1106.3285L (SIMBAD/NED BibCode) ================================================================================ Keywords: Surveys - Galaxies: evolution - Galaxies: active - Infrared: galaxies Description: Deep far-infrared photometric surveys studying galaxy evolution and the nature of the cosmic infrared background are a key strength of the Herschel mission. We describe the scientific motivation for the PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP) guaranteed time key program and its role in the complement of Herschel surveys, and the field selection which includes popular multiwavelength fields such as GOODS, COSMOS, Lockman Hole, ECDFS, EGS. We provide an account of the observing strategies and data reduction methods used. An overview of first science results illustrates the potential of PEP in providing calorimetric star formation rates for high redshift galaxy populations, thus testing and superseeding previous extrapolations from other wavelengths, and enabling a wide range of galaxy evolution studies.
