Description
Hereby we present an exploratory study of the surface brightness radial
profiles (μ-r profiles hereafter) of massive
(M˜>109.5 M&sun;) disk galaxies in the
redshift range 0 ˜< z ˜< 1. We use recently acquired
images from HST-WFC3 in the H160 band, and archive data from
SDSS-DR7, to trace the rest-frame z' band at all redshifts. The
comparison of average μ-r profiles, obtained from images with their
spatial resolutions equaled, show no significant change in the explored
range of redshifts, i. e. in the last ˜8 Gyr of cosmic time. The
stellar surface density seems to be comparable, at equal fractions of
the effective radius, and there is no evidence for the growth in
relevance of bulges. At least not at the simulated resolution, which is
1.5 kpc (fwhm).
