At z > 3, the 4000Å break is shifted to wavelengths λ > 1.6 μm, implying that the potentially oldest and/or most dusty galaxies at those redshifts could be missed even by deep near-IR surveys. Mobasher et al Steidel+03, Franx+02, Daddi+04 Color selection of high-z galaxies:

H-[3.6]>4 Dusty galaxies with an evolved stellar population at z>4 SMG 850‐5 by Wang et al. (2009) Completing the census of star formation and the assembling history of stellar mass densities NIR dropout? More sources of this kind displaying extremely red color H-[3.6]>4?

Four H-[3.6]>4 galaxies in GOODS/ERS (50 arcmin^2, Huang et al. 2011): Possibilities: 1.Very dusty SED at z~1-2 2.Old stellar population at z>4.5, the iceberg of a larger population of z > 3 galaxies?

Why CLASH data? 1.Deep WFC3 H-band images (27.5, 5σ) over 25 clusters, covering nearly 120 square arcmin 2.Deep IRAC ([3.6]+[4.5]um) imaging (5σ depth >24 mag) 3.Multi-wavelength HST+Spitzer observations allow for constrains on the SED 4.Cluster lensing helps to probe the intrinsically faint candidates 5.Wealth of existing and ongoing follow-up observations in other bands

Summary and future work Summary: 1.We identified 13 extremely red H-[4.5]>4 galaxies in the CLASH fields (over 23 clusters) 2.For 8 sources, SED fitting to the HST+IRAC photometry indicates that 5 of them are likely massive galaxies at z~4 (logM * ~ ), though very dusty low-z solutions cannot be ruled out. 3.None of sources is detected with Herschel (but the data are shallow) 4.One cluster (M0429) shows an overdensity of H-dropouts or lensed multiple images, but improved estimation on redshift is required, e.g., CO lines? Future work: 1.Inspect whether the H-dropouts are lensed by clusters if they are at z~4. 2.Compare the physical properties of the H-dropouts (z, mass, morphology, size, color, environment, etc) to that in other fields, e.g, CANDLES/UDS. 3.Need to look at the 24um emission to check the possibility of obscured AGNs (from Leonidas’ mosaic?). 4.
