75% of massive compact quiescent galaxies at z~0 require three-component photometric models (bulge + disk + envelope), versus only 7% of mass-matched control quiescent galaxies.

Towards Unbreaking the Universe: MINERVA Measurements of Color Gradients in Massive Quiescent Galaxies Can Help Ease Too-Early Star Formation Tensions
Resolved JWST photometry reveals negative color gradients in three of four z>3 massive quiescent galaxies, and an age-only interpretation of these gradients eases—but does not remove—tensions with early-galaxy formation models.

Small and Complex I: The Three Component Structure of $z \sim 0$ Massive Compact Quiescent Galaxies
75% of massive compact quiescent galaxies at z~0 require three-component photometric models (bulge + disk + envelope), versus only 7% of mass-matched control quiescent galaxies.
