Abstract

We estimate the galaxy stellar mass function and stellar mass density for star-forming and quiescent galaxies with 0.2 1.5 consistent with the expected uncertainties. We also develop a new method to infer the specific star formation rate from the mass function of star-forming galaxies. We find that ...
