Abstract:
We examine the radius-luminosity (R-L) relation for blue galaxies in
the Team Keck Redshift Survey (TKRS) of GOODS-N. We compare with a
volume-limited, Sloan Digital Sky Survey sample and find that the R-L
relation has evolved to lower surface brightness since z=1. Based on
the detection limits of GOODS, this cannot be explained by
incompleteness in low surface brightness galaxies. Number density
arguments rule out a pure radius evolution. It can be explained by a
radius-dependent decline in B-band luminosity with time.
Description:
We limit our study to those GOODS galaxies targeted by TKRS (Wirth et
al., 2004, Cat. J/AJ/127/3121), which obtained spectra of 2018 objects
in the GOODS-N field.
