Outshining by Recent Star Formation Prevents the Accurate Measurement of High-z Galaxy Stellar Masses

Outshining by Recent Star Formation Prevents the Accurate Measurement of High-z Galaxy Stellar Masses

We demonstrate that the inference of galaxy stellar masses via spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting techniques for galaxies formed in the first billion years after the Big Bang carries fundamental uncertainties owing to the loss of star formation history (SFH) information from the very first e...
