Exploring mid-IR excess as an indicator of recent star formation in red early-type galaxies up to z~1.42. Surprisingly, over 18% of massive red ETGs with Mstar > 10^11.2M⊙ exhibit excess emission, showing that recent star formation is not uncommon in these galaxies at z<1.

Tracing recent star formation of red early-type galaxies out to z ~ 1 42 • Mid-IR excess of • red ETGs as a good • indicator ofrecent SF • Even very massive red ETGs with Mstar > 1011.2M⊙, • more than 18% of them show excess emission • Recent SF is not rare among massive red ETGs at z < 1
