Description
We present the redshift evolution of the galaxy effective radius r_e_ obtained from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) samples of ~190000 galaxies at z=0-10. Our HST samples consist of 176152 photo-z galaxies at z=0-6 from the 3D-HST+CANDELS catalog (Skelton+, 2014, J/ApJS/214/24) and 10454 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z=4-10 identified in the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS), HUDF 09/12, and HFF parallel fields, (Harikane+, 2015, in prep) providing the largest data set to date for galaxy size evolution studies. We derive r_e_ with the same technique over the wide redshift range of z=0-10, evaluating the optical-to-UV morphological K correction and the selection bias of photo-z galaxies+LBGs as well as the cosmological surface-brightness dimming effect.
