We investigate the relationship between the quenching of star formation and the structural transformation of massive galaxies, using a large sample of photometrically-selected poststarburst galaxies in the UKIDSS UDS field. We find that post-starburs... Read More about Massive post-starburst galaxies at z > 1 are compact proto-spheroids.
