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
Re∝(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).
