Formation and evolution of discs and bulges through cosmic time in CANDELS

We examine a sample of 1495 galaxies in the UDS/CANDELS field 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 Sérsic fit, as...
