i − [3.6] vs. [3.6] − [8.0] color–color diagram. (a) 325 EROs with MIPS 24 μm detection (DGs); (b) 4761 EROs in our sample
with the IRAC 3.6 and 8.0 μm detection. The dotted line and dot-dashed line show the color criteria were used in Wilson et al.
(2007), to classify EROs into OGs, DGs, and AGNs. The solid line, [3.6] − [8.0] = −0.95, was used to classify EROs into OGs
and DGs in our works. Red symbols indicate EROs with
, and were classified as OGs with the SED fitting method; and blue symbols are EROs with
