Fecha de publicación: | 2018 | Editor: | Oxford University Press | Citación: | Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 480: 1415-1425 (2018) | Resumen: | We use the DECaLS DR3 survey photometry matched to the SDSS-III/BOSS DR12 spectroscopic catalogue to investigate the morphology and stellar mass-size relation of luminous red galaxies within the CMASS and LOWZ galaxy samples in the redshift range 0.2 < z < 0.7. The large majority of both samples is composed of early-type galaxies with De Vaucouleurs profiles, while only less than 20 per cent are late-type exponentials. We calibrate DECaLS effective radii using the higher-resolution CFHT/MegaCam observations and optimize the correction for each morphological type. By cross-matching the photometric properties of the early-type population with the Portsmouth stellar mass catalogue, we are able to explore the high-mass end of the distribution using a large sample of 322994 galaxies over 4380 deg. We find a clear correlation between the sizes and stellar masses of these galaxies, which appears flatter than previous estimates at lower masses. The sizes of these early-type galaxies do not exhibit significant evolution within the BOSS redshift range, but a slightly declining redshift trend is found when these results are combined with z ~ 0.1 SDSS measurements at the high-mass end. The synergy between BOSS and DECaLS has important applications in other fields, including galaxy clustering and weak lensing.C 2018 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty1947 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/206964 | DOI: | 10.1093/mnras/sty1947 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1093/mnras/sty1947 issn: 1365-2966 |
