Abstract:
    We present an analysis of the size growth seen in early-type galaxies
    over 10Gyr of cosmic time. Our analysis is based on a homogeneous
    synthesis of published data from 16 spectroscopic surveys observed at
    similar spatial resolution, augmented by new measurements for galaxies
    in the Gemini Deep Deep Survey. In total, our sample contains
    structural data for 465 galaxies (mainly early-type) in the redshift
    range 0.2<z<2.7. The size evolution of passively evolving galaxies
    over this redshift range is gradual and continuous, with no evidence
    for an end or change to the process around z~1, as has been hinted at
    by some surveys which analyze subsets of the data in isolation. The
    size growth appears to be independent of stellar mass, with the
    mass-normalized half-light radius scaling with redshift as
    R_e_{propto}(1+z)^-1.62+/-0.34^. Surprisingly, this power law seems to
    be in good agreement with the recently reported continuous size
    evolution of UV-bright galaxies in the redshift range z~0.5-3.5. It is
    also in accordance with the predictions from recent theoretical
    models.

Description:
    Structural parameters based on high resolution HST and adaptive optics
    ground-based imaging for 434 galaxies are obtained from the literature
    for 16 spectroscopic surveys, augmented with additional analysis of
    imaging data for 31 objects from our own survey (GDDS; Abraham et al.
    2004, Cat. J/AJ/127/2455).
