These galaxies, called &#8220;red nuggets&#8221;, were found to be extremely compact, with circularized half-light radius typically of ~1 kpc, in an astonishing contrast to the much larger local massive quiescent galaxies. Simulations predict that a small fraction of red nuggets experienced little to no growth from star formation and\/or mergers since their formation, remaining largely unaltered nowadays. Such unevolved galaxies are called relics. Here we present our study of a sample of massive compact quiescent galaxies in the local Universe, some of which are relic candidates. We also present preliminary detailed morphological analysis as well as the study of the globular cluster system of a sample of Local Relic Candidates from HST archival data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Observations of the high redshift universe (z &gt; 1) revealed that a population of massive quiescent galaxies, likely the progenitors of local massive ellipticals, already existed at z ~ 2.
