Formation of Giant Ellipticals Massive elliptical galaxies are the products of recent hierarchical merging of pre-existing disk galaxies taking place largely at z<1. 5 with moderate SFRs (eg, Cole et al. 2000). Near IR wide field imaging is crucial. Fully assembled massive galaxies with Evolution Mass Function (Baugh et al. 2002) Ms>1011 Mo at z>2 are extremely rare.

A New Population of near-IR bright, z~ 2 Galaxies K>20 HST/ACS F 435 W, F 850 LP & K-band (VLT+ISAAC) A sample of 9 galaxies at 1. 7<z<2. 23 with bright K-band magnitudes 18. 7<K<20 has recently been discovered (Daddi et al. 2003, astro-ph/0308456).
• Bz. Ks – – Summary High internal reddening : E(B-V)~ 0. 5 strong star formation : SFR~ 200 M /yr Massive galaxies : >30% (K=20) M>1. 0 E 11 M Strong 2 -D clustering • EROs (R-K>5) : DGs & OGs – – OGs: passive galaxies DGs: some of them are Bz. Ks OGs have low SFRs Strong clustering and massive • LBGs E(B-V)≤ 0. 3, SFR< 70 M /yr, clustering
Summary Bz. K selection is a quite powerful way to separate star forming galaxies at 1. 4<z<2. 5. Bz. Ks are different from LBGs (low extinction, low SFR). Some Bz. Ks are dusty EROs (high extinction, low SFR), but most of Bz. Ks are not EROs. K-band luminous, massive, high-SFRs galaxies at z>2 are likely to be possible precursors of z~ 1 passively evolving EROs and z=0 elliptical galaxies. Submm galaxies are sub-populations of Bz. Ks with extremely high SFRs and metallicities.
Conclusions We have discovered a new population of reddened, vigorous star-forming massive galaxies at z>2. Their masses, likely extremely high star formation rates, HST/ACS morphologies, clustering properties, all suggest that they may be the long-sought-for progenitors of nearby massive ellipticals, close to their epoch of formation. What Next? 1) Confirming the High SFRs, High metallicity 2) Contribution to the z>2 SFR Density 3) Understand the link between Bz. K and Submm Gals 4) CO follow-up 5) Co-evolution of Bz. K and Massive BHs ……… 6) COSMOS, NEP. SXDS, etc to see cosmic variance
