Scaling relations between galaxy structures and dynamics have been studied extensively for early and late-type galaxies, both in the local universe and at high redshifts. The abundant differences between the properties of disky and elliptical, or star-forming and quiescent, galaxies seem to be characteristic of the local Universe; such clear distinctions begin to disintegrate as observations of massive galaxies probe higher redshifts. In this Paper, we investigate the existence the mass fundamental plane of all massive galaxies ($sigmagtrsim$ 100 km/s). This work includes local galaxies (0.05<z<0.07) from the SDSS, in addition to 31 star-forming and 72 quiescent massive galaxies at intermediate redshift (z~0.7) with absorption line kinematics from deep Keck-DEIMOS spectra and structural parameters from HST imaging. In two parameter scaling relations, star-forming and quiescent galaxies differ structurally and dynamically. However, we show that massive star-forming and quiescent galaxies lie on nearly the same mass fundamental plane, or the relationship between stellar mass surface density, stellar velocity dispersion, and effective radius. The scatter in this relation (measured about $logsigma$) is low: 0.072 dex (0.055 dex intrinsic) at z~0 and 0.10 dex (0.08 dex intrinsic) at z~0.7. This three dimensional surface is not unique: virial relations, with or without a dependence on luminosity profile shapes, can connect galaxy structures and stellar dynamics with similar scatter. This result builds on the recent finding that mass fundamental plane has been stable for early-type galaxies since z~2 (Bezanson et al. 2013). As we now find this also holds for star-forming galaxies to z~0.7, this implies that these scaling relations of galaxies will be minimally susceptible to progenitor biases due to the evolving stellar populations, structures, and dynamics of galaxies through cosmic time.

We examine the Fundamental Plane (FP) and mass-to-light ratio ($M/L$) scaling relations using the largest sample of massive quiescent galaxies at $1.5<z<2.5$ to date. The FP ($r_{e}, sigma_{e}, I_{e}$) is established using $19$ $UVJ$ quiescent galaxi
es from COSMOS with $Hubble$ $Space$ $Telescope$ $(HST)$ $H_{F160W}$ rest-frame optical sizes and X-shooter absorption line measured stellar velocity dispersions. For a very massive, ${rm{log}}(M_{ast}/M_{odot})>11.26$, subset of 8 quiescent galaxies at $z>2$, from Stockmann et al. (2020), we show that they cannot passively evolve to the local Coma cluster relation alone and must undergo significant structural evolution to mimic the sizes of local massive galaxies. The evolution of the FP and $M/L$ scaling relations, from $z=2$ to present-day, for this subset are consistent with passive aging of the stellar population and minor merger structural evolution into the most massive galaxies in the Coma cluster and other massive elliptical galaxies from the MASSIVE Survey. Modeling the luminosity evolution from minor merger added stellar populations favors a history of merging with dry quiescent galaxies.
We explore the connection between the kinematics, structures and stellar populations of massive galaxies at $0.6<z<1.0$ using the Fundamental Plane (FP). Combining stellar kinematic data from the Large Early Galaxy Astrophysics Census (LEGA-C) survey
with structural parameters measured from deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging, we obtain a sample of 1419 massive ($log(M_*/M_odot) >10.5$) galaxies that span a wide range in morphology, star formation activity and environment, and therefore is representative of the massive galaxy population at $zsim0.8$. We find that quiescent and star-forming galaxies occupy the parameter space of the $g$-band FP differently and thus have different distributions in the dynamical mass-to-light ratio ($M_{rm dyn}/L_g$), largely owing to differences in the stellar age and recent star formation history, and, to a lesser extent, the effects of dust attenuation. In contrast, we show that both star-forming and quiescent galaxies lie on the same mass FP at $zsim 0.8$, with a comparable level of intrinsic scatter about the plane. We examine the variation in $M_{rm dyn}/M_*$ through the thickness of the mass FP, finding no significant residual correlations with stellar population properties, Sersic index, or galaxy overdensity. Our results suggest that, at fixed size and velocity dispersion, the variations in $M_{rm dyn}/L_g$ of massive galaxies reflect an approximately equal contribution of variations in $M_*/L_g$, and variations in the dark matter fraction or initial mass function.
We study the rest-frame ultra-violet sizes of massive (~0.8 x 10^11 M_Sun) galaxies at 3.4<z<4.2, selected from the FourStar Galaxy Evolution Survey (ZFOURGE), by fitting single Sersic profiles to HST/WFC3/F160W images from the Cosmic Assembly Near-I
nfrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS). Massive quiescent galaxies are very compact, with a median circularized half-light radius r_e = 0.63 +/- 0.18 kpc. Removing 5/16 (31%) sources with signs of AGN activity does not change the result. Star-forming galaxies have r_e = 2.0 +/- 0.60 kpc, 3.2 +/- 1.3 x larger than quiescent galaxies. Quiescent galaxies at z~4 are on average 6.0 +- 0.17 x smaller than at z~0 and 1.9 +/- 0.7 x smaller than at z~2. Star-forming galaxies of the same stellar mass are 2.4 +/- 0.7 x smaller than at z~0. Overall, the size evolution at 0<z<4 is well described by a powerlaw, with r_e = 5.08 +/- 0.28 (1+z)^(-1.44+/-0.08) kpc for quiescent and r_e = 6.02 +/- 0.28 (1+z)^(-0.72+/-0.05) kpc for star-forming galaxies. Compact star-forming galaxies are rare in our sample: we find only 1/14 (7%) with r_e / (M / 10^11 M_Sun)^0.75 < 1.5, whereas 13/16 (81%) of the quiescent galaxies is compact. The number density of compact quiescent galaxies at z~4 is 1.8 +/- 0.8 x 10^-5 Mpc^-3 and increases rapidly, by >5 x, between 2<z<4. The paucity of compact star-forming galaxies at z~4 and their large rest-frame ultra-violet median sizes suggest that the formation phase of compact cores is very short and/or highly dust obscured.
We present spectroscopic observations obtained at the {it Large Binocular Telescope} in the field of the cluster XLSSJ0223-0436 at $z=1.22$. We confirm 12 spheroids cluster members and determine stellar velocity dispersion for 7 of them. We combine t
hese data with those in the literature for clusters RXJ0848+4453 at $z=1.27$ (8 galaxies) and XMMJ2235-2557 at $z=1.39$ (7 galaxies) to determine the Fundamental Plane of cluster spheroids. We find that the FP at $zsim1.3$ is offset and { rotated ($sim3sigma$)} with respect to the local FP. The offset corresponds to a mean evolution $Delta$rm{log}(M$_{dyn}$/L$_B$)=(-0.5$pm$0.1)$z$. High-redshift galaxies follow a steeper mass-dependent M$_{dyn}$/L$_B$-M$_{dyn}$ relation than local ones. Assuming $Delta$ log$(M_{dyn}/L_B)$=$Delta$ log$(M^*/L_B)$, higher-mass galaxies (log(M$_{dyn}$/M$_odot$)$geq$11.5) have a higher-formation redshift ($z_fgeq$6.5) than lower-mass ones ($z_fleq$2 for log(M$_{dyn}$/M$_odot$$leq$10)), with a median $z_fsimeq2.5$ for the whole sample. Also, galaxies with higher stellar mass density host stellar populations formed earlier than those in lower density galaxies. At fixed IMF, M$_{dyn}$/M$^*$ varies systematically with mass and mass density. It follows that the evolution of the stellar populations (M$^*/L_B$) accounts for the observed evolution of M$_{dyn}/L_B$ for M$_{dyn}$$>10^{11}$ M$_odot$ galaxies, while accounts for $sim$85% of the evolution at M$_{dyn}$$<10^{11}$ M$_odot$. We find no evidence in favour of structural evolution of individual galaxies, while we find evidences that spheroids later added to the population account for the observed discrepancy at masses $<10^{11}$ M$_odot$.

Submillimeter-emitting galaxies (SMGs) are z~2 bolometrically luminous systems hosting energetic starburst and AGN activity. SMGs may represent a rapid growth phase that every massive galaxy undergoes before lying on the well-established black-hole-s
pheroid mass relationship in the local Universe. Here we briefly discuss our recent results from Alexander et al. (2008) where we estimated the masses of the black holes in SMGs using the black-hole virial mass estimator, finding M_BH~6x10^7 M_solar for typical SMGs. We show that the black-hole-spheroid mass ratio for SMGs at z~2 was suggestively below that found for massive galaxies in the local Universe and more than an order of magnitude below the black-hole-spheroid mass ratio estimated for z~2 quasars and radio galaxies. We demonstrate that SMGs and their progeny cannot lie on the elevated z~2 black-hole-spheroid mass relationship of quasars-radio galaxies without overproducing the space density of the most massive black holes (M_BH~10^9 M_solar), unless the galaxy spheroid of SMGs is an order of magnitude lower than that typically assumed (M_SPH~10^10 M_solar). We also show that the relative black-hole-spheroid growth rates of typical SMGs appear to be insufficient to significantly increase the black-hole-spheroid mass ratio, without requiring long duty cycles (~10^9 years), and argue that a more AGN-dominated phase (e.g., an optically bright quasar) is required to significantly move SMGs (and their progeny) up the black-hole-spheroid mass plane.
