Abstract:Abstract. The high-z progenitors of local massive early-type galaxies should be characterized by a strong level of clustering, larger than that measured for z = 3 Lyman Break Galaxies and comparable to that of z ∼ 1 EROs. First possible evidences for such strongly clustered objects at z > ∼ 2 were found by the FIRES and K20 surveys, that have identified new classes of faint high-z K-selected galaxies. Some details are given here for the new population of massive star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 2, found by the K20… Show more
