The evolution of compact massive quiescent and starforming galaxies derived from the $R_e-R_h$ and $M_{\mathrm{star}}-M_h$ relations

The mean size ( effective radius $R_e$) of Massive Galaxies (MGs, $M_{\mathrm{star}}>10^{11.2}{M}_{\odot }$) is observed to increase steadily with cosmic time. It is still unclear whether th…
