I will present recent findings on the evolution of the properties of the
progenitors of local ultra-massive galaxies over the past 11.2 billion years (i.e.,
since redshift z=3), along with recent results on their environment out to z=2 and
of the relative role played by merging and in-situ star formation in the growth of
their stellar mass content in the last 10 billion years. I will present the most
recent and comprehensive census of quiescent, unobscured and dusty star-forming
galaxies as a function of stellar mass since z=3. I will then show very exciting
results from a spectroscopic follow-up programs of candidates of very massive
galaxies at 1.5 |
