Size Evolution of the Most Massive Galaxies at 1.7 < z < 3 from GOODS NICMOS Survey Imaging
We measure the sizes of 82 massive (M>=1011 Msolar) galaxies at 1.72 our results are compatible with both a leveling off, or a mild evolution in size. Furthermore, the high density (~2 × 1010 Msolar kpc-3) of massive galaxies at these redshifts, which are similar to present-day globular clusters, possibly makes any further evolution in sizes beyond
