Extremely Red Objects Discovered serendipitously in optical and
near-infrared surveys by colour selection (Elston et al. 1988)
Sources with most of the emission in the near-infrared band: R-K>5; I-K>4:
Faint optical magnitude (R>23) Redshift range: 0.8<z<3
OLD ELLIPTICALS DUSTY STARBURSTS OBSCURED AGN

From the X-rays (Ranalli et al. 2002) SFR(X)=5-44 Msun/yr (similar predictions from Bauer et al. 2002, Nandra et al 2002 & Grimm et al. 2002
relations)
From optical OII flux (Kennicutt 1998) + dereddening E(B-V)=0.5-0.8
SFR(OII)=35-110 Msun/yrLarge uncertainties, but the X-ray emission suggests the
lower E(B-V)~0.5 lower SFR(in agreement with Radio/Fir results; see Smail et al. 2002)
