Abstract

We have carried out a deep (150 micro-Jy rms) P-band (325 MHz), continuum imaging survey of about 40 square degrees of sky in the XMM-LSS, Lockman Hole and ELAIS-N1 fields with the GMRT. Our deep radio data, combined with deep archival observations in the X-ray (XMM/Chandra), optical (SDSS, CFHTLS), near-infrared (UKIDSS, VISTA/VIDEO), mid-infrared (Spitzer/SWIRE, Spitzer/SERVS) and farinfrared (Spitzer/SWIRE, Herschel/HerMES) will enable us to obtain an accurate census of star-forming and active galaxies out to z ∼ 2. This panchromatic coverage enables accurate determination of photometric redshifts and accurate modeling of the spectral energy distribution. We are using our large, merged photometric catalog of over 10000 galaxies to pursue a number of science goals.
