We report the observational analyses and theoretical interpretations of unusually red galaxies in the Subaru Deep Field (SDF). A careful analysis of the SDF data revealed a population with unusually red near-infrared (NIR) colors of J-K 3-4, with a higher confidence than the previous SDF result. Their surface number density drastically increases at K 22 and becomes roughly the same as that of dusty starburst galaxies detected by submillimeter observations in recent years. These colors are even… Expand
