What makes red nuggets so important ?

✦ Abundant population of quiescent galaxies at z ≈ 2

(Universe 2--3 Gyr old) (Arnouts+07; Brammer+09,11; Williams+09; Ilbert+10; Whitaker+11)

✦ Remarkably (x5) small compared to local analogs of the

same stellar mass (Trujillo+07; Buitrago+08; Cassata+10; Saracco+10,11; Newman+12) Red nuggets:

Massive, compact, quiescent, galaxies at z≳2

SFR ≈ Mα

  • SFGs are bigger at a given mass

sSFR-M and Mass-Size

  • CANDELS H-band selected catalog in GOODS-S & UDS
  • Photo-z’s (spec-z), stellar masses, (UV+IR) SFRs, GALFIT morphologies

  • SFGs and quiescent galaxies follow different

Mass-Size relations

Mass-Size relation

  • Roughly constant slope
  • Zero-point shifts towards smaller radii
