We introduce the largest to date survey of massive quiescent galaxies at redshift ζ ∼ 1.6. With these data, which cover 27.6 deg², we can find significant numbers of very rare objects such as ultra-massive ...

We explore the feasibility and limitations of using the 1.6 [micron]m bump as a photometric redshift indicator and selection technique, and use it to study the rest-frame H-band galaxy luminosity and stellar mass functions ...
