The median stellar mass profiles for the three sets of stellar masses (see Table 1), ﹩{M}_{* ,\min }﹩, M_*,med, and ﹩{M}_{* ,\max }﹩ in orange, red, and purple, respectively. We also show the stellar mass profiles of massive quiescent galaxies at different cosmic times: the mean stellar mass profile of three compact massive quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 4–5 (A. C. Carnall et al. 2023; D. J. Setton et al. 2024; A. de Graaff et al. 2024), z ∼ 2.3 compact elliptical galaxies (R. Bezanson et al. 2009), and massive elliptical galaxies at z = 0 (T. Tal et al. 2009).
