Abstract

Aims. The aim of this work is to investigate the physical, structural and evolutionary properties of old, passive galaxies at z > 1.4 and to place new constraints on massive galaxy formation and evolution. Methods: We combine ultradeep optical spectroscopy from the GMASS project (Galaxy Mass Assembl...
