Optical and near-IR spectroscopy of candidate red galaxies in two z ~ 2.5 proto-clusters

We present a spectroscopic campaign to follow-up red colour-selected candidate massive galaxies in two high redshift proto-clusters surrounding radio galaxies. We observed a total of 57 galaxies in the field of MRC0943-242 (z = 2.93) and 33 in the field of MRC 1138-262 (z = 2.16) with a mix of optic...
