the first galaxies currently observable at z∼ 6 down to galaxies observable in the local …

Can minor merging account for the size growth of quiescent galaxies? New results from the CANDELS survey

AB Newman, RS Ellis, K Bundy… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The presence of extremely compact galaxies at z∼ 2 and their subsequent growth in
physical size has been the cause of much puzzlement. We revisit the question using deep …

How do minor mergers promote inside-out growth of ellipticals, transforming the size, density profile and dark matter fraction?

M Hilz, T Naab, JP Ostriker - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
There is observational evidence for inside-out growth of giant elliptical galaxies since z≳ 2–
3, which is–in contrast to disc galaxies–not driven by in situ star formation. Many of the∼ …
