Scientific paper

We seek to understand the nature of the Extremely Red Galaxy (ERG) population through a study of a complete sample of 29 ERGs (with (R-K) >= 6mag and K =< 19mag). X-ray observations will answer two important questions: Do ERGs contain a significant number of dust-shrouded active galactic nuclei? Are ERGs signposts pointing to high-redshift clusters of galaxies? Chandra is sensitive enough to detect heavily obscured Seyfert 1 nuclei and QSOs at redshifts above one, as well as hot intracluster gas from high-redshift clusters.
