Descripción
A significant fraction of the present day massive galaxies have compact
cores embedded inside their disks or halos. Strikingly, those compact
cores are similar to the massive high-redshift quiescent compact
galaxies, nicknamed red-nuggets. We present observational evidence
supporting an inside-out formation scenario, where present-day massive
galaxies can begin as dense spheroidal cores (red-nuggets), around which
either a spheroidal halo or a disk are accreted later. This contribution
is based on the paper by de la Rosa et al. (2016).
