New high-redshift quiescent galaxy sample shows size decreasing with redshift and wavelength, with stellar mass plus redshift sufficient to predict size but large residual scatter.
Simulations show SHARP/VESPER can measure stellar population gradients out to 2Re in most massive quiescent galaxies at 1.5<z<2.5 with ~20h exposures and reach at least Re at z=3 in ~30h.
