Table 2.
Best-fit parameters and their 1σ uncertainties in the different redshift intervals derived from fitting the stepwise SMF with a Schechter function.
| Redshift | N | α | log M*/M⊙ | log ϕ*/Mpc−3 | log ρ> 10/(M⊙ Mpc−3) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.0−3.5 | 58 | −0.81 ± 0.52 | 11.23 ± 0.38 | −4.44 ± 0.35 | 6.74 |
| 3.5−4.0 | 31 | −0.81 | 11.19 ± 0.20 | −4.51 ± 0.14 | 6.62 |
| 4.0−5.0 | 12 | −0.81 | 10.55 ± 0.22 | −4.52 ± 0.30 | 5.90 |
Notes. At z > 3.5, the Schechter slope α has been fixed to the value in the lowest redshift bin. The second column indicates the numbers of galaxies in each redshift bin based on which the SMF is computed. The last column reports the corresponding mass density ρ obtained by integrating the SMF from 1010 M⊙ to 1013 M⊙.
