Major (dots), minor (squares) and total (major + minor, triangles) merger fraction of M ⋆ ≥ 1011 M⊙ galaxies as a function of redshift in the COSMOS field. Dashed, solid and dott-dashed curves are the least-squares best fit of a power-law function, fm ∝ (1 + z)m, to the major (mMM = 1.4), minor (mmm = −0.1) and total (mm = 0.6) merger fraction data, respectively.
