The first sample of spectroscopically confirmed ultra-compact massive galaxies in the Kilo Degree Survey

We present results from an ongoing investigation using the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) to provide a census of ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs), defined as galaxies with stellar masses M* > 8 × 1010M⊙ and effective radii Re < 1.5 kpc. UCMGs, which a...
