Evolved galaxies at z > 1.5 from the Gemini Deep Deep survey: The formation epoch of massive stellar systems
We present spectroscopic evidence from the Gemini Deep Deep Survey for a significant population of color-selected red galaxies at 1.3 < z, < 2.2 whose integrated light is dominated by evolved stars. Unlike radio-selected objects, the z > 1.5 old galaxies have a sky density great...
