Stellar mass functions and implications for a variable IMF
M. Bernardi, R. K. Sheth, J. -L. Fischer +6
Spatially resolved kinematics of nearby galaxies has shown that the ratio of dynamical- to stellar population-based estimates of the mass of a galaxy () correlat…
Comparing PyMorph and SDSS photometry. II. The differences are more than semantics and are not dominated by intracluster light
M. Bernardi, J. -L. Fischer, R. K. Sheth +4
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey pipeline photometry underestimates the brightnesses of the most luminous galaxies. This is mainly because (i) the SDSS overestimates the sky background…
Comparing PyMorph and SDSS photometry. I. Background sky and model fitting effects
J. -L. Fischer, M. Bernardi, A. Meert
A number of recent estimates of the total luminosities of galaxies in the SDSS are significantly larger than those reported by the SDSS pipeline. This is because of a combination o…
The high mass end of the stellar mass function: Dependence on stellar population models and agreement between fits to the light profile
M. Bernardi, A. Meert, R. K. Sheth +5
We quantify the systematic effects on the stellar mass function which arise from assumptions about the stellar population, as well as how one fits the light profiles of the most lu…
The massive end of the luminosity and stellar mass functions and clustering from CMASS to SDSS: Evidence for and against passive evolution
M. Bernardi, A. Meert, R. K. Sheth +4
We describe the luminosity function, based on Sersic fits to the light profiles, of CMASS galaxies at z ~ 0.55. Compared to previous estimates, our Sersic-based reductions imply mo…
A Catalogue of Two-Dimensional Photometric Decompositions in the SDSS-DR7 Spectroscopic Main Galaxy Sample: Extension to g- and i-Bands
Alan Meert, Vinu Vikram, Mariangela Bernardi
We extend the catalogue of two-dimensional, PSF-corrected de Vacouleurs, Sersic, de Vacouleurs+Exponential, and Sersic+Exponential fits of ~7x10^5 galaxies presented in Meert, Vikr…
