Description
We have used high-resolution, Hubble Space Telescope, near-infrared imaging to conduct a detailed analysis of the morphological properties of the most massive galaxies at high redshift, modelling the WFC3/IR H_160_-band images of the =~200 galaxies in the CANDELS-UDS field with photometric redshifts 1<z<3, and stellar masses M_*_>10^11^M_{sun}_. We have explored the results of fitting single-Sersic and bulge+disc models, and have investigated the additional errors and potential biases introduced by uncertainties in the background and the on-image point spread function.
