Little change in the sizes of the most massive galaxies since z = 1

Recent reports suggest that elliptical galaxies have increased their size dramatically over the last ∼8 Gyr. This result points to a major rethink of the processes dominating the late-time evolution of galaxies. In this paper we present the first estimates for the scale sizes of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in the redshift range 0.8 ...更多
