Wide field near-infrared (IR) surveys have revealed a population of galaxies with very red optical$-$IR colors, which have been termed ``Extremely Red Objects'' (EROs). Modeling suggests that such red colors (R-K > 5) could be produced by…
We present a method based on two broad-band colors to investigate the nature of the Extremely Red Objects (EROs), i.e., the galaxies selected to have very red optical-to-infrared colors. Dusty starburst and old ellipticals at redshifts…
We present a quantitative study of the morphology of 41 Extremely Red Objects (EROs). The analysis is based on deep otical and near-infrared images from the Hubble Space Telescope public archive, and performed by fitting to each galaxy…
We present the results of a deep (about 80 ks) XMM-Newton survey of the largest sample of near-infrared selected Extremely Red Objects (R-K>5) available to date to K_S< 19.2. At the relatively bright X-ray fluxes (F_{2-10 keV}> 4x10^{-15}…
We use deep near-infrared and submillimeter observations of three massive lensing cluster fields, A370, A851, and A2390, to determine the average submillimeter properties of a K'-selected sample. The 38 Extremely Red Objects (EROs; I-K'>4)…
We present preliminary results of a 25 ks XMM-Newton observation of the largest sample of Extremely Red Objects (EROs) available to date (about 450 sources), selected in a contiguous area of 700 arcmin^2 (Daddi et al. 2000). Five of the 36…
We present near-infrared VLT-UT1+ISAAC spectroscopy of a sample of 9 extremely red galaxies (ERGs) with R-K>5 and K<19.0. Neither strong emission lines (F_lim<1-5 10^{-16} erg s^{-1}cm^{-2}) nor continuum breaks are detected. From…
We present VLT near-IR spectroscopic observations of three X-ray sources characterized by extremely high X-ray-to-optical ratios (X/O>40), extremely red colors (6.3<R-K<7.4, i.e. EROs) and bright infrared magnitudes (17.6<K<18.3). These…
We measure the angular clustering of 33 415 extremely red objects (EROs) in the Elais-N1 field covering 5.33 deg$^{2}$, which cover the redshift range $z=0.8$ to $2$. This sample was made by merging the UKIDSS Deep eXtragalactic Survey…
In this paper we present a quantitative study of the classification of Extremely Red Objects (EROs). The analysis is based on the multi-band spatial- and ground-based observations (HST/ACS-$BViz$, HST/NICMOS-$JH$, VLT-$JHK$) in the Hubble…
Using U'- through Ks-band imaging data in the GOODS-South field, we construct a large, complete sample of 275 ``extremely red objects'' (EROs; K_s<22.0, R-K_s>3.35; AB), all with deep HST/ACS imaging in B_435, V_606, i_775, and z_850, and…
We carried out the direct measurement of the fraction of dusty sources in a sample of extremely red galaxies with (R - Ks) > 5.3mag and Ks < 20.2mag, using 24um data from the Spitzer Space Telescope. Combining deep 24um, Ks- and R-band data…
We present further observations of the extremely red object ERO J094258+4659.2, identified by \citet{iye00} as ERO R1 in their deep images of the cluster A851. We estimate its redshift independently by eight-band photometric redshift…
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…
This is the first paper in a series presenting and analyzing data for a K-selected sample of galaxies collected in order to identify and study galaxies at moderate to high redshift in rest-wavelength optical light. The sample contains 842…
