The formation of bulges, discs and two-component galaxies in the CANDELS Survey at z < 3

We examine a sample of 1495 galaxies in the CANDELS fields to determine the evolution of two-component galaxies, including bulges and discs, within massive galaxies at the epoch 1 < z < 3 when the Hubble sequence forms. We fit all of our galaxies’ light profiles with a single Sersic fit, as we...
