The size evolution of galaxies since z ∼ 3: Combining SDSS, GEMS, and FIRES

The size evolution of galaxies since z ∼ 3: Combining SDSS, GEMS, and FIRES

We present the evolution of the luminosity-size and stellar mass-size relations of luminous (LV ≳ 3.4 × 1010 h 70-2 L⊙) and massive (M* ≳ 3 × 1010 h70-2 M⊙) galaxies in the last ∼11 Gyr. We use very deep near-infrared images of the Hubble Deep Field-South and the MS 1054-03 field in the Js, H, and K...
