Table C.1.

Catalogue of VIPERS red nuggets and the main physical properties used in our analysis. Column 1 is the VIPERS ID; Cols. 2 and 3 give the sky position, Ra and Dec, respectively; Col. 4 shows redshift, z; Cols. 5 and 6 list the physical properties of circularised half-light radii and stellar mass, respectively; Cols. 7 and 8 show the colours used for passiveness checking, NUV - r and r - K. Three VIPERS IDs, together with their R_e values, are underlined as their relative errors of R_e are higher than 45%.
