CANDELS+3D-HST: compact SFGs at z~2-3, the progenitors of the first quiescent galaxies

G. Barro, S. M. Faber, P. G. Perez-Gonzalez +32

We analyze the star-forming and structural properties of 45 massive (log(M/Msun)>10) compact star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at 2<z<3 to explore whether they are progenitors of compac…
