Scientific paper

We present the first results from the GOODS NICMOS Survey (GNS), a 180 orbit Hubble Space Telescope program to image with NICMOS in the F160W (H-band) a sample of 60 massive, M* > 1011 M0, galaxies at z > 2 found in both the GOODS-North and GOODS-South fields. While the primary goal of the survey is to examine the structures and sizes of these massive galaxies, our data also contain dozens of V- and i-drop galaxies, as well as sub-mm detected galaxies, and evolved massive galaxies at z > 4. We present the first results from this survey, including measures of structures and sizes of massive galaxies at z > 2, giving the first detailed rest-frame optical view of galaxies at this epoch.
