The Evolution of the Global Stellar Mass Density at 0 < z < 3

Abstract
The build-up of stellar mass in galaxies is the consequence of their past star formation and merging histories. Here we report measurements of rest-frame optical light and calculations of stellar mass at high redshift based on an infrared-selected sample of galaxies from the Hubble Deep Field North. The bright envelope of rest-frame B-band galaxy luminosities is similar from 0>2.Comment: To appear in the Astrophysical Journal. 35 pages, 8 figures, some in colo
