Abstract
We estimate the galaxy stellar mass function and stellar mass density
for star-forming and quiescent galaxies out to z=4. We construct a
sample of 220000 galaxies selected at K_{s}1.5 consistent with the expected
uncertainties. Finally, we present a new method to infer the specific
star formation rate from the mass function of star-forming galaxies and
we find a continous increase of the sSFR with redshift out to z˜
4. The photometric catalogues and associated photometric redshifts are
available at http://terapix.iap.fr/article.php?id_article=844.
