The pBzKs number counts have a similar shape, but the break in the count slope is shifted to 1-1.5 magnitude fainter. Both EROs and pBzKs have fairly narrow redshift distribution: peaked at z ~1 (EROs) and at z~1.7 (pBzKs). The number counts are direct probes of their respective luminosity functions. The shift in the counts is consistent with the different typical redshift of the two populations. The counts of sBzKs have roughly the same slope at all K-band magnitude, which reflects the much wider redshift distribution of this class of galaxies. Photo-z Distribution Two Point Correlation Functions w(Θ) Landy & Szalay (1993) Daddi-F Deep 3a-F Angular Clustering Amplitude EROs, sBzKs, and pBzKs distribute in a very inhomogeneous way in the sky. EROs and sBzKs appear to be strongly clustered, but pBzKs clustered most strongly in both fields. The clustering strengths of all the three populations increase with K-band luminosity. Physical Properties of sBzKs and pBzKs • Supposing <z>~2 for sBzKs, we have derived their physical properties, such as the reddening, star formation rate, and the stellar mass. (While errors by a factor of 2 or more may affect individual estimates, the average quantities should be relatively robust.) • Reddening : E(B-V)=0.25(B-z+0.1)AB ←UV Continuum slope (Calzetti law) • SFR : SFR(Mo/yr)=L1500[erg/s/Hz]/8.85x1027 • Stellar Mass : log(M*/1011Mo)=-0.4(Ktot-20.14Vega) The field area the histogram for sBzKs which associated with X-ray sources (25%). 11is Above 10The Mo the lines numbers andhistograms pBzKs are similar. dashed are for of the sBzKs stellar mass of pBzKs. Correlation between Colour Excess E(B-V), SFR and stellar mass for sBzKs • There is evidence for an intrinsic correlation between SFR and reddening at z~2 star-forming galaxies, with galaxies with higher star formation having more dust obscuration (>5σ level). • The correlation between E(B-V) and stellar mass Is likely to be intrinsic, with more massive galaxies being also more absorbed (>7σ level). • Given the previous two correlations, not surprisingly we also find a correlation between SFR and stellar masses (>4σ level). • The upper edge in the SFR vs M* appear to be intrinsic, showing a limit on the maximum SFR that can be present in a galaxy of a given mass. SFRs/mass @ z~2 were ~10 times larger than today. Brinchmann et al (2004) Downsizing Effects? • At z=0 the vast majority of massive galaxies (M*>1011Mo) are passively evolving “red” galaxies, while at z~2 actively star forming (sBzKs) and passive (pBzKs) galaxies exist in similar numbers, and most massive galaxies tend to be the most actively star forming galaxies. • This can be seen as yet another manifestation of the downsizing effect, with massive galaxies completing their star formation at an earlier epoch compared to less massive galaxies, which instead have more prolonged star formation.

Summary and Conclusions (I) BzK selection is a quite powerful way to separate high-z galaxies such as sBzKs, pBzKs and EROs at 1.4<z<2.5. 1) Down to the K-band limit of the survey the log of the number counts of sBzKs increases linearly with the K-magnitude, while that of both EROs and pBzKs flattens out by Kvega~19. EROs are in a modest redshift shell (z~1), while pBzKs are also in a relatively narrow redshift shell but at higher redshift (z~1.7). sBzKs are drawn from a large range of redshifts, and their relative numbers increase sharply with redshift. Summary and Conclusions (II) 2) The clustering properties of EROs and sBzKs are very similar, clustering amplitudes ~10 times higher than generic galaxies in the same magnitude range. This suggests an evolutionary link between sBzKs at z~2 and EROs at z~1, with star formation on sBzKs quenching by z~1 thus producing passively evolving EROs. The clustering amplitude of pBzKs is even higher than that of sBzKs and EROs, suggesting that quenching epoch of star formation in massive galaxies depends on environmental density. Summary and Conclusions (III) 3) sBzK galaxies (KVega<20) have median reddening E(B-V)~0.40, average SFR ~ 190 Mo/yr, typical stellar mass ~1011 Mo, and ~solar metallicity. The high SFRs, large masses and high metallicities of sBzKs suggest that these z~2 star forming galaxies are the precursors of z=1 passive EROs and z=0 early-type galaxies. Summary and Conclusions (IV) 4) The number density of massive pBzKs (KVega<20, M*>1011 Mo) is about 1/2 of similarly massive early-type galaxies at z=0. The quenching of star formation in massive star-forming galaxies must result in a doubling since <z>~1.7 in the number of massive, passive galaxies. It is indeed quite reassuring that the number of M*>1011 Mo sBzKs is very close to that of pBzKs. We argue that most of this star-formation quenching is likely to take place between z~2 and z~1.
