Forward and backward galaxy evolution in comoving cumulative number density space

© 2017 The Authors. Galaxy cumulative comoving number density is commonly used to forge progenitor/descendant links between observed galaxy populations at different epochs. However, this method breaks down in the presence of galaxy mergers, or when galaxies experience stochastic growth rates. We pre...
