Abstract:
We study the morphology and size of the luminous and massive galaxies
at 0.3<z<0.7 targeted in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic
Survey (BOSS) using publicly available Hubble Space Telescope (HST)
imaging, and catalogues, from the COSMic Origins Survey (COSMOS). Our
sample (240 objects) provides a unique opportunity to check the visual
morphology of these galaxies which were targeted based solely on
stellar population modelling.
