This rapid rise indicates that the mass reservoir available for the most massive galaxies increases quickly with redshift at fixed halo number density. The curves evolve rapidly with redshift, with the maximal stellar mass corresponding to a fixed cumulative co-moving halo number density increasing by three orders of magnitude from z = 20 to z = 5. 1 shows the relationship between the maximal inferred stellar mass for a given M halo, M ⋆ = f b M halo (that is, assuming the maximal ϵ = 1.0) and redshift z for fixed cumulative co-moving halo number densities ranging from 10 −10 Mpc −3 (light grey) to 10 −2 Mpc −3 (yellow). In what follows, I use the Sheth and Tormen 14 dark matter halo mass function d n( M, z)/d M-the number of dark matter haloes of mass M per unit mass per unit co-moving volume at redshift z-to compute the co-moving number density of haloes above a given halo mass threshold, However, a long line of research starting with Press and Schechter 13 has been devoted to connecting the abundance of dark matter haloes as a function of redshift and mass to the underlying linear matter power spectrum. The non-linear density field, home to the dark matter haloes that host galaxies, must be computed numerically.

With these values, the linear matter power spectrum is specified at all times relevant for structure formation. The relevant parameters and values for this work are the present-day Hubble constant, H 0 = 67.32 km s −1 Mpc −1 the z = 0 density parameter for matter, Ω m = 0.3158 (which includes baryons, dark matter and non-relativistic neutrinos) the slope of the primordial power spectrum of density fluctuations, n s = 0.96605 the root mean square (r.m.s.) amplitude of the linear matter power spectrum at z = 0 as measured in spheres of radius 8 h −1 Mpc, σ 8 = 0.8120 and the cosmic baryon fraction, f b ≡ Ω b/ Ω m = 0.156 (ref.

I use best-fit values for cosmological parameters based on the plik TT,TE,EE + lowE + lensing likelihood applied to the full mission data. I adopt the base ΛCDM model of the Planck Collaboration 12, which assumes no spatial curvature and initial conditions that are Gaussian and adiabatic, as the standard cosmological model. The question of the consistency of stellar mass functions and the underlying cosmological dark matter halo mass functions has become considerably more urgent with the release of the first data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), and with it, a swarm of high-redshift galaxy candidates 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. 2), although I also consider the maximal cumulative stellar mass density allowed in ΛCDM. My analysis is in many ways similar to that of Behroozi and Silk 1, who connected cumulative number densities of dark matter haloes to high-redshift galaxy stellar mass functions (see also Steinhardt et al. I show how this simple relation can be used as a stringent test of either cosmological models with minimal assumptions about galaxy formation, or the reliability of photometric selection and physical characterization of high-redshift galaxy candidates. This, in turn, bounds the total stellar content of a dark matter halo: M ⋆( M halo) ≤ M b( M halo). Λ cold dark matter model ( ΛCDM)-like cosmological models share a similar basic assumption: baryons and dark matter are well mixed at very early times, and as baryons collapse into dark matter haloes, the maximum amount of baryonic material within a halo will be equal to M b = f b M halo, where f b ≡ Ω b/ Ω m is the cosmic baryon fraction.
