We previously identified an excess of mostly red galaxies around 31 RLQs at z=1-2. These fields have an ERO (extremely red object, R-K>6) density 2.7 times higher than the field. Assuming the EROs are passively evolved galaxies at the…

We have discovered a concentration of extremely red objects (EROs; R-K>6) in the field of the z=2.69 quasar QSO 1213-0017 (UM 485), which is significantly overabundant compared to the field ERO surface density. The optical/near-IR colors of…

We report on a study of the surface density of Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in the fields of 13 radio-loud quasars at 1.8 < z < 3.0 covering a total area of 61.7 sqr arcmin. There is a large variation in the ERO surface density from field…

We have examined the occurrence of Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in the fields of 13 luminous quasars (11 radio-loud and two radio-quiet) at 1.8 < z < 3.0. The average surface density of K_s<=19 mag EROs is two-three times higher than in…

We have discovered an excess of extremely red objects (EROs) surrounding the z=2.69 quasar QSO 1213-0017 (UM 485). Optical/IR colors for these galaxies are consistent with z=1-2 ellipticals, and there are at least 5 galaxies with…

We identify a deep sample of 198 extremely red objects (EROs) in (50.4 sq. arcmin of) the Chandra Deep Field South, selected as I-K>3.92 galaxies to a limit K=22. The ERO number counts remain well below the predictions for pure luminosity…

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…

We present results on number counts of Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in a 2850 arcmin^2 near-infrared survey performed in European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) fields at K<17.5. Counts of EROs are extended to brighter levels than available…

We present a study of the classification of z ~1 extremely red objects (EROs), using a combination of HST/ACS, Spitzer/IRAC, and ground-based images of the COSMOS field. Our sample includes about 5300 EROs with i-Ks>2.45 (AB, equivalently…

Extremely Red Objects (EROs, R-K>5) constitute a heterogenous class of extragalactic sources including high redshift elliptical galaxies, dusty star-forming systems and heavily obscured AGNs. Hard X-ray observations provide an unique and…

We use a serendipitously discovered overdensity of extremely red objects (EROs) to study the morphologies and cumulative surface number density of EROs in a dense environment. Our extremely deep imaging allows us to select very faint EROs,…

We present initial results from a field survey for extremely red objects (EROs, defined here as (R-K') >= 6 mag) covering 154 square arcminutes of sky, from the first of 7 deep, wide-field K' images obtained as part of the Calar Alto Deep…

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…

In the paradigm of hierarchical galaxy formation, luminous radio galaxies mark mass assembly peaks that should contain clusters of galaxies. Observations of the z=1.53 quasar 3C270.1 with the Spitzer Space Telescope at 3.6-24 micron and…

Aims. We present a determination of the intrinsic colors and ages of galaxies at very high redshift, in particular old galaxies (OGs) within extremely red objects (EROs). To date, the definition of EROs has been restricted to objects with…

We have studied the spatial clustering of high redshift (z > 1) extremely red objects (EROs) as a function of photometric redshift in the GOODS Southern Field using public data. A remarkable overdensity of extremely red galaxies (I-Ks > 4)…

Extremely Red Objects (EROs) offer a window to the universe at z~1 analogous to that provided by the Lyman Break galaxies at z=3. Passive evolution and hierarchical galaxy formation models make very distinct predictions for the K (2.2um)…
