Context. Massive ultra-compact galaxies (MUGs) are common at z = 2−3, but very rare in the nearby Universe. Simulations predict that the few surviving MUGs should reside in galaxy clusters, whose large relative velocities prevent them from merging, t...

Journal Article
Mager, V. A., Conselice, C. J., Seibert, M., Gusbar, C., Katona, A. P., Villari, J. M., …Windhorst, R. A. (2018).

Evolutionary studies that compare galaxy structure as a function of redshift are complicated by the fact that any particular galaxy's appearance depends in part on the rest-frame wavelength of the observation. This leads to the necessity for a "morph... Read More about Galaxy structure in the ultraviolet: the dependence of morphological parameters on rest-frame wavelength.
