We have searched for Extremely Red Objects (EROs) around faint mid-IR selected galaxies in ELAIS fields. We find a significant overdensity, by factors of 2 to 5, of these EROs compared to field EROs in the same region and literature random…

Infrared surveys have discovered a significant population of bright (K<19) extremely red (R-K>6) objects. Little is known about the properties of these objects on account of their optical faintness (R>24). Here, we report deep infrared…

We present the X-ray properties of the extremely red objects (ERO) population observed by Chandra with three partially overlapping pointings (up to ~90 ks) over an area of ~500 arcmin^2, down to a 0.5-8 keV flux limit of ~10-15 erg cm-2…

We present the results of a K-band imaging survey of 40 arcmin^{2} in fields around 14 radio-loud AGN (6 radio galaxies and 8 quasars) with z>1.5. The survey, 80% complete to K<19.2 and complemented by R-band imaging, aimed at investigating…

We present the results of a wide-field survey for extremely red objects (EROs hereafter), the widest so far, based on Ks and R band imaging. The survey covers 701 arcmin^2 and it is 85% complete to Ks\leq18.8 over the whole area and to…

We present optical spectroscopy of 62 objects selected from several samples of ultra steep spectrum (USS) radio sources. 46 of these are from our primary catalog, consisting of 669 sources with radio spectral indices alpha < -1.30 (S_nu ~…

[abridged] The properties of galaxies with the reddest observed R-K colors (Extremely Red Objects, EROs), including their apparent division into passive and obscured active objects with roughly similar number densities, are a known…
