GLASS. IX. Structural param. from HFF & GLASS
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
Using deep Hubble Frontier Fields imaging and slitless spectroscopy from the Grism Survey from Space, we study 2200 cluster and 1748 field galaxies at 0.2<=z<=0.7 to determine the impact of environment on galaxy size and structure at stellar masses logM_*_/M_{sun}_>7.8, an unprecedented limit at these redshifts.
Description
Based on simple assumptions-r_e_=f(M_*_)-we find no significant differences in half-light radii (r_e_) between equal-mass cluster or field systems.
More complex analyses --r_e_=f(M_*_,U-V,n,z,{Sigma})-- reveal local density ({Sigma}) to induce only a 7%+/-3% (95% confidence) reduction in r_e_ beyond what can be accounted for by U-V color, Sersic index (n), and redshift (z) effects. Almost any size difference between galaxies in high- and low-density regions is thus attributable to their different distributions in properties other than environment. Indeed, we find a clear color-r_e_ correlation in low-mass passive cluster galaxies (logM_*_/M_{sun}_<9.8) such that bluer systems have larger radii, with the bluest having sizes consistent with equal-mass star-forming galaxies.

We take this as evidence that large-r_e_ low-mass passive cluster galaxies are recently acquired systems that have been environmentally quenched without significant structural transformation (e.g., by ram pressure stripping or starvation). Conversely, ~20% of small-r_e_ low-mass passive cluster galaxies appear to have been in place since z>~3. Given the consistency of the small-r_e_ galaxies' stellar surface densities (and even colors) with those of systems more than ten times as massive, our findings suggest that clusters mark places where galaxy evolution is accelerated for an ancient base population spanning most masses, with late-time additions quenched by environment-specific mechanisms mainly restricted to the lowest masses.
