COSMOS-Web: Unraveling the Evolution of Galaxy Size and Related Properties at 2<z<10

We measure galaxy sizes from $2 < z < 10$ using COSMOS-Web, the largest-area JWST imaging survey to date, covering $\sim$0.54 deg$^2$. We analyze the rest-frame optical (~5000A) size evolution and its scaling relation with stellar mass ($R_e\propto M_*^\alpha$) for star-forming and quiescent galaxies. For star-forming galaxies, the slope $\alpha$ remains approximately 0.20 at $2 < z < 8$, showing no significant evolution over this redshift range. At higher redshifts, the slopes are $-0.13 \pm 0.15$ and $0.37 \pm 0.36$ for $8 < z < 9$ and $9 < z < 10$, respectively. At fixed galaxy mass, the size evolution for star-forming galaxies follows $R_e \propto (1+z)^{-\beta}$, with $\beta = 1.21 \pm 0.05$. For quiescent galaxies, the slope is steeper $\alpha\sim 0.5$-$0.8$ at $2 < z < 5$, and $\beta=0.81\pm0.26$. We find that the size-mass relation is consistent between UV and optical at $z < 8$ for star-forming galaxies. However, we observe a decrease in the slope from UV to optical at $z > 8$, with a tentative negative slope in the optical at $8 < z < 9$, suggesting a complex interplay between intrinsic galaxy properties and observational effects such as dust attenuation. We discuss the ratio between galaxies' half-light radius, and underlying halos' virial radius, $R_{vir}$, and find the median value of $R_e/R_{vir}=2.7\%$. The star formation rate surface density evolves as $\log\Sigma_\text{SFR} = (0.20\pm0.08)\,z+(-0.65\pm0.51)$, and the $\Sigma_\text{SFR}$-$M_*$ relation remains flat at $2<z<10$. Lastly, we identify a threshold in stellar mass surface density $\log\Sigma_e\sim9.5$-$10\, M_{\odot}/kpc^2$ marking the transition to compact, quenched galaxies from extended, star-forming progenitors. In summary, our findings show that the extensive COSMOS-Web dataset at $z > 3$ provides new insights into galaxy size and related properties in the rest-frame optical.
