Insensitive to dust obscuration , radio wavelengths are ideal to study star-forming galaxies free of dust induced biases . Using data from the Phoenix Deep Survey , we have identified a sample of star-forming extremely red objects ( EROs ) . Stacking of the radio images of the radio-undetected star-forming EROs revealed a significant radio detection . Using the expected median redshift , we estimate an average star-formation rate of 61 { M } _ { \odot } { yr } ^ { -1 } for these galaxies .
