One of the surprising results from the Hubble Space Telescope was the discovery that many of the most massive galaxies at redshift
z
 ≈ 2 are very compact, having a half-light radius of only 1−2 kpc. The interpretation is that massive galaxies formed inside out, with their cores largely in place by
