| Abstract: |
We fit elliptical isophotes to the Hubble Deep Field WFPC2 and NICMOS data to study the rest frame optical colors and surface brightness profiles of 33 galaxies with 0.5 <= z <= 1.3 and 50 galaxies with 2.0 <= z <= 3.5. We find evidence of evolution in both the surface brightness and color profiles of the galaxies. Our results indicate that at earlier epochs, galaxies are not only more disk-like, but their star formation regions may be more centrally concentrated than they are today. |
