HALF OF THE MOST LUMINOUS QUASARS MAY BE OBSCURED: INVESTIGATING THE NATURE OF WISE-SELECTED HOT DUST-OBSCURED GALAXIES

The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mission has unveiled a rare population of high-redshift (z = 1-4.6), dusty, hyper-luminous galaxies, with infrared luminosities L[subscript IR] > 10[superscript 13] L[subscript ⊙], and sometimes exceeding 10[superscript 14] L[subscript ⊙]. Previous work has...
