| Yhteenveto: | The various deep ISOCAM surveys revealed a new class of infrared luminous galaxies which are characterized by a high rate of evolution and are found at redshifts of zsimilar to1. Here we report results of our near-infrared VLT-ISAAC spectroscopic survey aimed at characterising the nature of these sources. We find that the rest-frame R-band spectra resemble those of powerful dust enshrouded starbursts. More recent detailed studies revealed that some of these systems are in fact extremely massive galaxies. |
