Big Galaxies and Big Black Holes: The Massive Ends of the Local Stellar and Black Hole Mass Functions and the Implications for Nanohertz Gravitational Waves

We construct the z = 0 galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) by combining the GSMF at stellar masses M _* ≲ 10 ^11.3 M _⊙ from the census study of Leja et al. and the GSMF of massive galaxies at M _* ≳ 10 ^11.5 M _⊙ from the volume-limited MASSIVE galaxy survey. To obtain a robust estimate of M _* for...
