Extremely red galaxies in the Phoenix Deep Survey

The Phoenix Deep Survey (PDS) is a multiwavelength survey based on deep 1.4 GHz radio observations used to identify a large sample of star forming galaxies to z=1. Here we present an exploration of the evolutionary constraints on the star-forming population imposed by the 1.4 GHz source counts, followed by an analysis of the average properties of extremely red galaxies in the PDS, by using the “stacking” technique.
