COSMOS2020: The Galaxy Stellar Mass Function: the assembly and star formation cessation of galaxies at 0.2\lt z \leq 7.5

How galaxies form, assemble, and cease their star-formation is a central question within the modern landscape of galaxy evolution studies. These processes are indelibly imprinted on the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF). We present constraints on the shape and evolution of the SMF, the quiescent galaxy fraction, and the cosmic...
