Structural Evolution of Quiescent Galaxies from the Peak of the Cosmic Star Formation Epoch

The main focus of this thesis is the investigation of an interesting new population of massive passively evolving galaxies found at high redshifts. We use a sample of these galaxies at redshifts 1<z<2 drawn from the Gemini Deep Deep Survey sample and measure their structural parameters based o...
