Minor vs Major Mergers: The Stellar Mass Growth of Massive Galaxies from z=3 using Number Density Selection Techniques

Jamie R. Ownsworth, Christopher J. Conselice, Alice Mortlock +4

We present a study on the stellar mass growth of the progenitors of local massive galaxies with a variety of number density selections with $n\le 1\times 10^{-4}\mathrm{Mp}{\mathrm{c}}^{-3}$ (cor…
