Stellar mass growth in COSMOS-Web: a mass-complete main sequence to z ~ 8 and its consistency with GSMF evolution

The star-forming main sequence (MS) links the instantaneous star-formation rate of galaxies to their stellar-mass growth and therefore to the evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF).

The star-forming main sequence (MS) links the instantaneous star-formation rate of galaxies to their stellar-mass growth and therefore to the evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF). We determine a mass-complete MS in COSMOS-Web out to z=8 and test whether its mass…
