Description
The study of the Extremly Red Objects (EROs), is the importance for
setting constraints on the first epoch of massive galaxy formation, for
exploring the population of dust reddened starburst and for testing
models of galaxy formation in general. They are defined as objects with
I-K>4(Vega). The traditional picture identifies the EROs either with
passively evolving elliptical galaxies, or with young starburst reddened
dust.
