Abstract

We present deep wide-field K-band observations of six Hyperluminous Infrared Galaxies (HLIRGs) spanning a redshift range 0.440.5 than locally, and that, at these redshifts, the processes that drive QSO evolution are similar to those that drive IR-luminous galaxy evolution. From comparison of the HLIRG and QSO host galaxies we further postulate that a larger fraction of IR-luminous galaxies pass through an optical QSO stage at z>0.5 than locally.
