  ABSTRACT: A new population of faint galaxies characterized by an extremely high rate of evolution with redshift up to z∼1.5 has recently been discovered by ISO. These sources are likely to contribute significantly to the cosmic far-IR extragalactic background. We have carried out near-infrared VLT-ISAAC spectroscopy of a sample of ISOCAM galaxies from the Hubble Deep Field South. The rest-frame R-band spectral properties of the ISO population resembles that of powerful dustenshrouded active starburst galaxies.
