Linear radio size evolution of $\mu$Jy populations
  We investigate the linear radio size properties of the $\mu$Jy populations of
radio-selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star-forming galaxies (SFGs)
using a multi-resolution catalog based on the original VLA-COSMOS 3\,GHz
0\farcs75 resolution mosaic and its convolved images (up to a resolution of
2\farcs2). The final catalog contains 6\,399 radio sources above a 3\,GHz total
flux density of $S_T>20$ $\mu$Jy (median $<S_T>=37$ $\mu$Jy), with redshift
information (median $<z>=1.0$), and multi-wavelength classification as SFGs,
radio-excess AGN (RX-AGN), or non-radio-excess AGN (NRX-AGN). RX-AGN are those
whose radio emission exceeds the star formation rate derived by fitting the
global spectral energy distribution. We derive the evolution with redshift and
luminosity of the median linear sizes of each class of objects. We find that
RX-AGN are compact, with median sizes of $\sim$ 1-2 kpc and increasing with
redshift, corresponding to an almost constant angular size of 0\farcs25.
NRX-AGN typically have radio sizes a factor of 2 larger than the RX-AGN. The
median radio size of SFGs is about 5 kpc up to $z\sim 0.7$, and it decreases
beyond this redshift. Using luminosity-complete subsamples of objects, we
separately investigate the effect of redshift and luminosity dependance. We
compare the radio sizes of SFGs with those derived in the rest-frame
far-infrared (FIR) and UV bands. We find that SFGs have comparable sizes
(within 15\%) in the radio and rest-frame FIR, while the sizes measured in the
UV-band are systematically larger than the radio sizes.
