Old Galaxies at High Redshift
Gavin Dalton Oxford University
The distribution of extremely red objects (EROs) in the infra-red follow-up of the INT deep survey (ODT) is shown to exhibit strong angular clustering. This
population is likely to be composed of at least three components:
Young starbursting galaxies at intermediate redshifts, low-mass
Galactic stars, and old galaxies at intermediate redshifts with an
implied formation epoch of z~5. The delineation of these populations
represents an important step in understanding the evolution of both
large-scale structure and the star-formation history of the Universe.
