Recent stellar mass assembly of low-mass star-forming galaxies at redshifts 0.3 < z < 0.9

Lucía Rodríguez-Muñoz, Jesús Gallego, Camilla Pacifici +5

The epoch when low-mass star forming galaxies (LMSFGs) form the bulk of their stellar mass is uncertain. While some models predict an early formation, others favor a delayed scenar…
