The Nature of Extremely Red Field Galaxies
Dr. Richard Elston, University of Florida
Abstract
It has been roughly 10 years since the first deep near-IR images of the sky
revealed a puzzling population of objects with very red optical to near-IR
colors. It now appears that this is a mixed population containing z>1 galaxies
with old stellar populations, dusty starburst galaxies and AGN at 16). Each of these three
contributors to the red galaxy population will be reviewed.
