Context. Thanks to decades of observations using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), the structure of galaxies at redshift z >2 has been widely studied in the rest-frame ultraviolet regime, which traces recent star formation from young stellar populations. However, we still have little information about the spatial distribution of the older, more evolved stellar populations, constrained by the rest-frame infrared portion of the galaxies’ spectral energy distribution. Aims. We present the morphological characteriz…
