Mass Function Of Galaxies

The Mass Function of Galaxies is a statistical construct in astrophysics that describes the number density of galaxies per unit comoving volume as a function of their stellar or total mass, distinguishing it from other galaxy distribution measures by quantifying the abundance of galaxies across the mass spectrum.
