On the galaxy stellar mass function, the mass-metallicity relation, and the implied baryonic mass function
A comparison between published field galaxy stellar mass functions (GSMFs) shows that the cosmic stellar mass density is in the range 4–8 per cent of the baryon density (assuming Ωb = 0.045). There remain significant sources of uncertainty for the dust correction and underlying stellar mass-to-light ratio even assuming a reasonable universal stellar initial mass function. We determine the z < 0...
متن کاملThe galaxy stellar mass–star formation rate relation: Evidence for an evolving stellar initial mass function?
The evolution of the galaxy stellar mass–star formation rate relationship (M∗−SFR) provides key constraints on the stellar mass assembly histories of galaxies. For star-forming galaxies, M∗−SFR is observed to be fairly tight with a slope close to unity from z ∼ 0 → 2, and it evolves downwards roughly independently of M∗. Simulations of galaxy formation reproduce these trends, broadly independen...
متن کاملThe galaxy stellar mass function of X-ray detected groups
We study the stellar mass distribution for galaxies in 160 X-ray detected groups of 1013 < Log(M200/M ) < 2 × 1014 and compare it with that of galaxies in the field to investigate the action of environment on the build-up of the stellar mass. We highlight differences in the build-up of the passive population in the field, which imprint features in the distribution of stellar mass of passive gal...
متن کاملEvolution of Galaxy Stellar Mass Function Back to Z ∼ 3
We use very deep near-infrared (NIR) imaging data obtained in MOIRCS Deep Survey (MODS) to investigate the evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function back to z ∼ 3. The MODS data reach J = 24.2, H = 23.1, K = 23.1 (5σ, Vega magnitude) over 103 arcmin (wide) and J = 25.1, H = 23.7, K = 24.1 over 28 arcmin (deep) in the GOODS-North region. The wide and very deep NIR data allow us to measure th...
متن کاملThe Stellar Mass Function
Since the major review by Scalo (1986), significant progress has been achieved in constraining the mass function (MF) of low-mass stars. The break-throughs which today allow a much better understanding of the stellar luminosity function (LF) and the underlying MF are documented here and the resulting MF for Galactic field stars is confronted with microlensing data, the chemical enrichment histo...
