Gems: The surface brightness and surface mass density evolution of disk galaxies

We combine HST imaging from the GEMS (Galaxy Evolution from Morphologies and SEDs) survey with photometric redshifts from COMBO-17 to explore the evolution of disk-dominated galaxies since z ≲1.1. The sample is composed of all GEMS galaxies with Sérsic indices n < 2.5, derived from fits to th...
