Scientific paper

We propose a mosaic of 3 Chandra pointings (30 ks each) to uniformly cover what can be considered one of the largest and most extensively studied region of Extremely Red Objects (EROs; R-K>5) to date. Thanks to the subarcsec positional accuracy provided by Chandra and the negligible background, we will be able to detect X-ray emission from ~20 EROs down to a 0.5-8 keV flux limit of 1-2x10^-15 cgs, and to perform X-ray stacking analyses of the remaining EROs population to derive the Star Formation Rate (SFR) for dusty EROs selected on the basis of multiwavelength observations. Given the large area sampled, this field is the best suited to investigate the correlation between X-ray sources and EROs via their clustering properties at bright near-infrared and X-ray fluxes.
