Query: Cosmic Evolution of Stellar Disk Truncations: From z~1 to the Local
  Universe   We have conducted the largest systematic search so far for stellar disk
truncations in disk-like galaxies at intermediate redshift (z<1.1), using the
Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey South (GOODS-S) data from the Hubble
Space Telescope - ACS. Focusing on Type II galaxies (i.e. downbending profiles)
we explore whether the position of the break in the rest-frame B-band radial
surface brightness profile (a direct estimator of the extent of the disk where
most of the massive star formation is taking place), evolves with time. The
number of galaxies under analysis (238 of a total of 505) is an order of
magnitude larger than in previous studies. For the first time, we probe the
evolution of the break radius for a given stellar mass (a parameter well suited
to address evolutionary studies). Our results suggest that, for a given stellar
mass, the radial position of the break has increased with cosmic time by a
factor 1.3+/-0.1 between z~1 and z~0. This is in agreement with a moderate
inside-out growth of the disk galaxies in the last ~8 Gyr. In the same period
of time, the surface brightness level in the rest-frame B-band at which the
break takes place has increased by 3.3+/-0.2 mag/arcsec^2 (a decrease in
brightness by a factor of 20.9+/-4.2). We have explored the distribution of the
scale lengths of the disks in the region inside the break, and how this
parameter relates to the break radius. We also present results of the
statistical analysis of profiles of artificial galaxies, to assess the
reliability of our results.
