UniverseMachine: The correlation between galaxy growth and dark matter halo assembly from z = 0−10 (2018, background): “…redshift dependence as Behroozi et al. (2013e), but limit the maximum scatter at high redshift: σSM,obs = min(σSM,0 +σSM,zz,0.3)dex (26) For example, Grazian et al. (2015) find a scatter of∼ 0.2 dex at z = 6 in the distribution of SMs for ∼ 1011 M galaxies; this expands to 0.3 dex after…”
Spectroscopic detection of C iv λ1548 in a galaxy at z = 7.045: implications for the ionizing spectra of reionization-era galaxies (2015, background): “2014; Grazian et al. 2015), the sizes are smaller (e.g., Oesch et al. 2010; Ono et al. 2013; c.f., Curtis-Lake et al. 2014), and the UV continuum colors are bluer (e.g., Wilkins et al. 2011; Finkelstein et al. 2012; Rogers et al. 2013; Bouwens et al. 2014a).”
The COSMOS2015 galaxy stellar mass function . Thirteen billion years of stellar mass assembly in ten snapshots (2017, methodology): “Some of them, like the present work, collect a galaxy sample where photometric redshifts and stellar mass are derived via SED fitting (“M-selected” SMFs: Santini et al. 2012; Ilbert et al. 2013; Muzzin et al. 2013a; Duncan et al. 2014; Caputi et al. 2015; Stefanon et al. 2015; Grazian et al. 2015).”

Survey description, data reduction and source detection (2017, background): “…Madau & Dickinson 2014; Rafelski et al. 2016; Bouwens et al. 2016; Dunlop et al. 2017), measurements of stellar mass (e.g., González et al. 2011; Grazian et al. 2015; Song et al. 2016), galaxy sizes (e.g., Oesch et al. 2010; Ono et al. 2013; van der Wel et al. 2014; Shibuya et al. 2015;…”
Radiation Backgrounds at Cosmic Dawn: X-Rays from Compact Binaries (2016, unknown): “…stellar mass func- tion (SMF) to compute a mean mass-weighted gas-phase metallicity at z = 0.03 (Baldry et al. 2012) and over the redshift ranges 0.35 < z < 3.5 (Ilbert et al. 2013), 0.75 < z < 3.0 (Kajisawa et al. 2009), 4.0 < z < 5.0 (Lee et al. 2012), and 3.5 < z < 7.5 (Grazian et al. 2015).”
The origin of spin in binary black holes (2019, background): “The mean metallicity function is obtained fitting observations assuming that the galaxy mass–metallicity relation holds at any redshift (Kajisawa et al. 2009; Baldry et al. 2012; Lee et al. 2012; Ilbert et al. 2013; Grazian et al. 2015).”
Consistent modelling of the meta-galactic UV background and the thermal/ionization history of the intergalactic medium (2018, background): “…metallicity of newly formed stars, obtained by integrating the mass-metallicity relation of Zahid et al.

An extreme [O III] emitter at z = 3.2: a low metallicity Lyman continuum source (2015, background): “Several other surveys reported only upper limits (Siana et al. 2010; Bridge et al. 2010; Malkan et al. 2003; Vanzella et al. 2010b, 2012; Boutsia et al. 2011; Grazian et al. 2015).”
Constraining the galaxy–halo connection over the last 13.3 Gyr: star formation histories, galaxy mergers and structural properties (2017, methodology): “At high redshifts the GSMF is described by a Schechter function, as has been pointed out in previous papers (see e.g., Grazian et al. 2015; Song et al. 2015; Duncan et al. 2014).”
THE EVOLUTION OF THE GALAXY STELLAR MASS FUNCTION AT z = 4–8: A STEEPENING LOW-MASS-END SLOPE WITH INCREASING REDSHIFT (2015, methodology): “…implemented a grid search for the “intrinsic Schechter parameter to correct for the Eddington bias, finding that while we see a similar trend to what Grazian et al. (2015) found (the “intrinsic” low-mass-end slope is similar [at z = 4–5] or slightly flatter [at z & 6], driven by the change in M∗,…”
A Redshift-independent Efficiency Model: Star Formation and Stellar Masses in Dark Matter Halos at z ≳ 4 (2018, methodology): “In the right panel, we zoom-in on z = 4, additionally including observations by Santini et al. (2012), Grazian et al. (2015) and Stefanon et al. (2017).”
STELLAR MASSES FROM THE CANDELS SURVEY: THE GOODS-SOUTH AND UDS FIELDS (2014, unknown): “…improve our knowledge of the galaxy stellar mass assembly process, both in a statistical sense (e.g., they allow a robust measure of the galaxy stellar mass functions; Grazian et al. 2015, G15 hereafter, Duncan et al. 2014) and for dedicated analyses of interesting, faint and distant sources.”
Directly Observing the Galaxies Likely Responsible for Reionization (2016, background): “This has been shown to be especially important at the faint end, where low signal-to-noise ratio means that photometric errors are larger than at the bright end (Grazian et al. 2015).”
MUFASA: Galaxy Formation Simulations With Meshless Hydrodynamics (2016, result): “We note that another high-z GSMF determination from CANDELS by Duncan et al. (2014) yields generally higher values, which would be further discrepant; the determination from Grazian et al. (2015), on the other hand, are comparable to that of Song et al. (2015).”
