The size-mass relation for star-forming galaxies at 0.6 < z ≤ 4 shows a gradient in slope with rest-frame wavelength, crossing at ~10^9.5 solar masses proposed as the transition between diffuse and compact morphologies.
JWST data shows half-light radii larger than half-mass radii in galaxies at 0.2<z<2.5, with mass-dependent differences, steeper size-mass slopes for light, and faster mass-size growth for star-forming galaxies at high redshift.

Difference Between Half-mass Radius and Half-light Radius of Galaxies at 0.2 $< z <$ 2.5 Revealed by JWST/NIRCam Data
JWST data shows half-light radii larger than half-mass radii in galaxies at 0.2<z<2.5, with mass-dependent differences, steeper size-mass slopes for light, and faster mass-size growth for star-forming galaxies at high redshift.
