Stellar Mass Function Evolution

Stellar Mass Function Evolution is a theoretical construct in astrophysics that characterizes the time-dependent distribution of stellar masses within galaxies, distinguishing itself from static mass functions by explicitly modeling how the abundance of stars across different mass bins changes over cosmic time due to star formation, stellar evolution, and galaxy interactions.
