The evolution of compact massive quiescent and starforming galaxies derived from the and relations

L. Zanisi, F. Shankar, H. Fu +12

The mean size ( effective radius ) of Massive Galaxies (MGs, ) is observed to increase steadily with cosmic time. It is still unclear whether th…

Infrared color selection of massive galaxies at z > 3

T. Wang, D. Elbaz, C. Schreiber +29

We introduce a new color-selection technique to identify high-redshift, massive galaxies that are systematically missed by Lyman-break selection. The new selection is based on the…

A universal structural and star-forming relation since : connecting compact star-forming and quiescent galaxies

G. Barro, S. M. Faber, D. C. Koo +13

We study the evolution of the core (r<1 kpc) and effective (r<r_e) stellar-mass surface densities, in star-forming and quiescent galaxies. Since z=3, both populations occupy distin…
