Abstract

A SST survey in the NOAO Deep-Wide Field in Bo\"otes provides a complete, 8-micron-selected sample of galaxies to a limiting (Vega) magnitude of 13.5. In the 6.88 deg$^2$ field sampled, 79% of the 4867 galaxies have spectroscopic redshifts, allowing an accurate determination of the local (z<br />Comment: 32 pages, 12 Figures (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 are JPEG files), accepted for publication in ApJ
