Confronting predictions of the galaxy stellar mass function with observations at high redshift
We investigate the evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function at high redshift (z ≥ 5) using a pair of large cosmological hydrodynamical simulations: MassiveBlack and MassiveBlack-II. By combining these simulations, we can study the properties of galaxies with stellar masses greater than 108 M⊙ h−1 and (comoving) number densities …
