Where to find galaxy mass function observational data?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on locating observational data for the galaxy mass function number count, specifically the dn/dM metric in relation to redshift and mass. The user suggests using HIPASS data as a potential source but expresses uncertainty about where to find this data and how to convert it into the desired format. The recommendation to utilize Google Scholar for further research is noted as a starting point for gathering relevant articles and resources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of galaxy mass function and its significance in astrophysics
  • Familiarity with redshift and its implications in observational astronomy
  • Basic knowledge of data conversion techniques in astrophysical research
  • Experience with accessing and interpreting HIPASS data
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifics of HIPASS data and its availability for galaxy mass function studies
  • Learn about the mathematical conversion of observational data to dn/dM
  • Explore additional databases and resources for galaxy mass function data
  • Investigate scholarly articles on the application of redshift in galaxy mass function analysis
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysicists, and researchers focused on galaxy formation and evolution, particularly those seeking to compare observational data with theoretical models.

Dear all,

I am looking for observational data for the number count of galaxy mass function:
\begin{equation} dn/dM\end{equation} in terms of redshift and also mass, to compare with theories.
I know that I can use HIPASS data (most probably), but as I am new to the field, I have to idea:
1- where to find the data
2- How to convert the observational data to dn/dM ?
