Star formation rate distributions: Inadequacy of the Schechter function
In this paper, we posit that galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) come in two fundamentally different types depending on whether the luminosity traces galaxy stellar mass or its current star formation rate (SFR). $\textit{Mass function types}$ reflect the older stars and therefore the stellar mass dist...
