1. Introduction• NIR/Spect. Surveys
(good points: k-corrections, dust extinction, instantaneous SFH, stellar mass …)– HDF (2x5.3 arcmin2) UDF (5.76 arcmin2) SDF ( 4.0arcmin2) – K20 (52.0 arcmin2) SXDF (114.0 arcmin2) GOODS (320.0arcmin2)
– GDDS GEMS MUNICS– VVDS DEEP2 GMASS
• We are working on …– EIS-Deep3a: 900 arcmin2 NIR survey (Deep3a-F,Daddi-F)

5.1 Clustering of galaxies
EROs: 0.77/arcmin^2sBzKs:0.195/arcmin^2
5.2 Clustering of galaxiesClustering 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!

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-zUV SlopeE(B-V) • sBzKs are dusty galaxies,
E(B-V) ~ 0.42
– B band 1600ASFR• sBzKs have high SFRs, SF
R ~ 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 : 0.037 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
