PRIMUS: Constraints on Star Formation Quenching and Galaxy Merging, and the Evolution of the Stellar Mass Function from z = 0-1
John Moustakas,Alison L. Coil,Alison L. Coil,James Aird,Michael R. Blanton,Richard J. Cool,Daniel J. Eisenstein,Alexander J. Mendez,Kenneth C. Wong,Guangtun Zhu,Stéphane Arnouts +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the evolution of the stellar mass function (SMF) from z = 0−1 using multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopic redshifts from the PRism MUlti-object Survey (PRIMUS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).

Bullock,Charlie Conroy,Charlie Conroy,Romeel Davé,Dušan Kereš,Mark R. Krumholz +24 more
TL;DR: The MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey as discussed by the authors was the first large-scale deep evolution field (DEDF) survey, which aims to obtain moderate-resolution (R = 3000-3650) rest-frame optical spectra (∼3700-7000 Å) for ∼1500 galaxies at in three well-studied CANDELS fields: AEGIS, COSMOS, and GOODS-N. In addition, 55 additional galaxies were serendipitously detected.

TL;DR: The AEGIS-X survey as mentioned in this paper consists of pointings at eight separate positions, each with nominal exposure of 200 ks, covering a total area of approximately 0.67 deg2 in a strip of length 2 degrees, and a total of 1325 band-merged sources have been found to a Poisson probability limit of 4 × 10−6, with limiting fluxes of 5.3 × 10-17 erg cm2 s−1 in the soft (0.5-2 keV) band and 3.8 × 10 −16 erg cm−2
