Exploring the formation and evolution of massive ellipticals with Extremely Red Objects
A. Cimatti
Extremely Red Objects (EROs) provide the important possibility to shed light on the formation and evolution of the present-day massive ellipticals. On one hand, they allow to selec…
Radio galaxies at z~2.5: results from Keck spectropolarimetry
J. Vernet, R. A. E. Fosbury, M. Villar-Martin +4
In classifying the ensemble of powerful extragalactic radio sources, considerable evidence has accumulated that radio galaxies and quasars are orientation-dependent manifestations…
The morphology of extremely red objects
G. Moriondo, A. Cimatti, E. Daddi
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…
Searching for high-z field ellipticals: successes and problems
A. Cimatti
The most recent observational results on the search for high redshift field ellipticals are reviewed in the context of galaxy formation scenarios. The perspectives for Large Binocu…
EROs and the formation epoch of field ellipticals
E. Daddi, A. Cimatti, A. Renzini
A comparison is presented between the observed surface density of extremely red objects (EROs) and the densities of red high-z elliptical galaxies predicted by Pure Luminosity Evol…
UV Spectropolarimetry of Narrow-line Radio Galaxies
Makoto Kishimoto, Robert Antonucci, Andrea Cimatti +4
We present the results of UV spectropolarimetry (2000 - 3000A) and far-UV spectroscopy (1500 - 2000A) of two low-redshift narrow-line radio galaxies (NLRGs) taken with the Faint Ob…
