Evolution of the fractions of different morphological types in rest-frame ∼0.8 − 1 μm as a function of stellar mass and redshift. Each panel shows a redshift bin as labeled. Filters F200W, F356W and F444W are used to infer galaxy morphology in the redshift bins 0 < z < 1, 1 < z < 3 and 3 < z < 6, respectively. Top row: fractions in four morphological classes: spheroids (red), disks (blue), bulge+disk (orange) and peculiar or irregular (green). Middle row: fractions in two broad classes: disk dominated (blue) and bulge dominated (red). Bottom row: fractions in two broad classes: regular (blue) and disturbed (green). The fractions of early and regular galaxies steadily decrease with redshift at all stellar masses. However, we still observe a significant fraction of massive bulge dominated and dusky galaxies up to z ∼ 6. As in the previous figure, we observe a regular decline of regular and early-type galaxies with increasing redshift with massive galaxies presenting a more evolved morphology.
