Abstract:
Using a sample of ∼28000 sources selected at 3.6-4.5um with Spitzer
observations of the Hubble Deep Field North, the Chandra Deep Field
South, and the Lockman Hole (surveyed area ∼664arcmin2), we study
the evolution of the stellar mass content of the universe at 0<z<4. We
calculate stellar masses and photometric redshifts, based on ∼2000
templates built with stellar population and dust emission models
fitting the ultraviolet to mid-infrared spectral energy distributions
of galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts. We estimate stellar mass
functions for different redshift intervals.
Description:
Our IRAC selected sample is composed of 9074 sources in the HDF-N,
9676 in the CDF-S, and 9149 in the LHF, for a total of 27899 sources.
The Spitzer data were complemented with other publicly available and
proprietary photometric and spectroscopic data in the three fields.
These data cover the electromagnetic spectrum from UV to MIR
wavelengths.
