Abstract / Description of output

We estimate the galaxy stellar mass function and stellar mass density for star-forming and quiescent galaxies with 0.210^10.7Msun. For the mass function of the quiescent galaxies, we do not find any significant evolution of the high-mass end at z1.5 consistent with the expected uncertainties. We also develop a new method to infer the specific SFR from the mass function of star-forming galaxies. We find that the sSFR of 10^10Msun galaxies increases continuously in the redshift range 1
