Description
We present the evolution of the luminosity size and stellar mass size relations of luminous (LV > 3.4×1010h70 -2L&sun;) and of massive (M★ >3×1010h70 -2M&sun;) galaxies in the last˜11 Gyr. We use very deep near infrared images of the Hubble Deep Field South and the MS1054-03 field in the Js, H and Ks bands from FIRES to retrieve the sizes in the optical rest frame for galaxies with z >1.
