1. Introduction NIR/Spect. Surveys (good points: k-corrections, dust extinction, instantaneous SFH, stellar mass …) –HDF (2x5.3 arcmin 2 ) UDF (5.76 arcmin 2 ) SDF ( 4.0arcmin 2 ) –K20 (52.0 arcmin 2 ) SXDF (114.0 arcmin 2 ) GOODS (320.0arcmin 2 ) –GDDS GEMS MUNICS –VVDS DEEP2 GMASS We are working on … –EIS-Deep3a: 900 arcmin 2 NIR survey (Deep3a-F,Daddi-F) Prof. Arimoto, Renzini, Daddi talks, Masato poster Kong et al. 2006, ApJ, 638, 72 –COSMOS : 2 deg 2 NIR survey (BzKs/EROs)

4.1 Selection of BzKs Daddi et al. (2004, ApJ, 617,746) K20 Survey : VLT Large Program –50. arcmin 2 –~ 500 spectra –SFGs BzK> -0.2 BzK=(z-K) AB -(B-z) AB BzK >-0.2 : sBzKs BzK 2.5 : pBzKs sBzKspBzKs
4.1 Selection of BzKs BzK=(z-K) AB -(B-z) AB BzK >-0.2 : sBzKs BzK 2.5 : pBzKs sBzKs pBzKs CWW templatesBC03 templates
4.2 Selection of EROs R-K>5 (Vega) R-K>3.35 (AB) ip-K>2.45 (AB)
4.3 High-z Galaxies in COSMOS sBzKs: 1287 star-forming z>1.4 pBzKs:195 old z>1.4 EROs: 5090 z~1 galaxies (OGs/DGs) Stars in COSMOS Stars in K20 low~z galaxies
4.3 High-z Galaxies in COSMOS sBzKs: 1287 star-forming z>1.4 pBzKs:195 old z>1.4 EROs: 5090 z~1 galaxies (OGs/DGs) Stars in COSMOS Stars in K20 low~z galaxies
4.4 number counts of high-z n.c. of sBzKs:same slope; steep n.c. of EROs:break Field galaxies,sBzKs, EROs : similar pBzKs: different why ?? B-band shallow?
5.1 Clustering of galaxies EROs: 0.77/arcmin^2 sBzKs: 0.195/arcmin^2
5.2 Clustering of galaxies Clustering of field galaxies Amplitudes ~ published values Clustering of EROs A ~ published values K fainter, A decrease Clustering of BzKs A is large K fainter, A decrease Landy & Szalay (1993) (DD-2DR+RR)/RR = A Angular 2-point correlation function
BzKs are strong clustering! 5.3 Clustering of galaxies Clustering of field galaxies Amplitudes ~ published values Clustering of EROs A ~ published values K fainter, A decrease Clustering of BzKs A is large K fainter, A decrease
6.1 Photometric Redshift BzK selection is a quite powerful way to separate galaxies at 1.4<z<2.5 EROs sBzKs
6.1 Photometric Redshift
6.2 E(B-V) SFR Mass sBzKs : z~1.8 (Daddi. et al.) K <19.2 –B-z UV Slope E(B-V) sBzKs are dusty galaxies, E(B-V) ~ 0.42 –B band 1600A SFR sBzKs have high SFRs, SFR ~ 430 M /yr –SED fitting M * Most BzKs are massive galaxies, M ~ 1.5E11 M
6.3 SFRD/MD at redshift~2 For K<19.2 mag. – SFRD at z~2 : M /yr – Mass densities : logρ*=7.1 M Mpc-3
sBzKs EROs 6.3 Morphology sBzKs: irregular EROs : E/S0
Conclusion BzKs (K<19.2) –High redshift 1.4<z<2.5 –high internal reddening E(B-V)~0.45 –strong star formation SFR~400 M /yr –Massive galaxies. >80 % M>1.0E11M –Strong 2-D clustering A(BzKs)≥A(EROs) BzKs are likely to be possible precursors of z ~ 1 EROs and z=0 elliptical galaxies. We will do on COSMOS … –High-z cluster candidates –Morphology of BzKs & EROs –Hubble sequence at z~2 THANKs!
