## Abstract Extremely Red Objects (EROs, RβK>5) constitute a heterogeneous class of extragalactic sources including high redshift elliptical galaxies, dusty starβforming systems and heavily obscured AGNs. Hard Xβray observations provide an unique and powerful tool to uncover obscured nuclear or sta

The BeppoSAX High Energy Large Area Survey (HELLAS) has found so far 200 sources with a 5-10 flux higher than 5 Γ 10 -14 erg cm -2 s -1 in βΌ 80 deg 2 of sky. A summary on the optical identifications of a subsample of these sources is presented here. Most of the identified sources are AGN at 0.04<z<3
By using results from the 2MASS observation, the differences between the X-ray selected BL Lac objects (XBLs) and the radio selected ones (RBLs) in the near infrared are discussed in this paper. It is found that, statistically, the RBLs have redder near infrared colors and steeper spectral indices i
