Extremely compact massive galaxies at z ~ 1.4
The optical rest-frame sizes of 10 of the most massive (~5 × 1011h-270Msolar) galaxies found in the near-infrared MUNICS survey at 1.2 < z < 1.7 are analysed. Sizes are estimated in both the J and K' filters. These massive galaxies are at least a factor of 4+1.9-1.0 (+/-1σ) smaller in the rest-frame V-band than local counterparts of the same
