Comparison between the light profiles of the galaxies in our sample from our ground-based plus AO imaging and space-based imaging. The red symbols denote our SINFONI+AO K-band reconstructed images; the black symbols indicate the HST/ACS z-band imaging. The light profiles were normalised in the region 0.5″ <  Radius <  0.7″. The vertical dashed lines in each panel indicate the effective radius in z band of each NSC, as derived by Turner et al. (2012). The shaded area indicates the PSF FWHM of the SINFONI data.
