Description
In this paper we present the photometric properties of a sample of extremely red galaxies (EROs, R-Ks≥5.6), found in the field of the lensing cluster Abell 1835. Using optical, near- and mid-infrared colours, we compare our ERO sample with other galaxy populations with extreme colours, like distant red galaxies (DRGs, J-Ks≥2.3) and infrared selected extremely red galaxies (IEROs).
