Morphology and Redshifts of Extremely Red Galaxies in the GOODS/CDFS deep ISAAC field

Abstract

We present the photometric redshift distribution of a sample of 198 Extremely Red Galaxies (ERGs) with Ks<22 and I-Ks>3.92 (Vega), selected by Roche et al. in 50.4 sq. arcmin of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS). The sample has been obtained using ISAAC-VLT and ACS-HST GOODS public data. We also show the results of a morphological study of the 72 brightest ERGs in the z band (z<25, AB).
