Color Gradients and Half-mass Radii of Galaxies Out to z = 2 in the CANDELS/3D-HST Fields: Further Evidence for Important Differences in the Evolution of Mass-weighted and Light-weighted Sizes

Color Gradients and Half-mass Radii of Galaxies Out to z = 2 in the CANDELS/3D-HST Fields: Further Evidence for Important Differences in the Evolution of Mass-weighted and Light-weighted Sizes

Recent studies have indicated that the ratio between half-mass and half-light radii, r _mass / r _light , varies significantly as a function of stellar mass and redshift, complicating the interpretation of the ubiquitous r _light − M _* relation. To investigate, in this study we construct the light...
