Abstract

Using high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope imaging data, we perform a visual morphological classification of $\sim 36,000$ galaxies at $z 1$ as the fraction of irregular galaxies and merger systems (when observed at rest-frame UV/blue wavelengths) dramatically increases. We determine that roughly two-thirds of the total stellar mass of the Universe today was in place by $z \sim 1$. Double-component galaxies dominate the SMD at all epochs and increase in their contribution to the stellar mass budget to the present day. Elliptical galaxies are the second most dominant morphological type and increase their SMD by $\sim 2.5$ times, while by contrast, the pure-disk population significantly decreases by $\sim 85\%$. According to the evolution of both high- and low-mass ends of the SMF, we find that mergers and in-situ evolution in disks are both present at $z
