Different GSMFs: with the complete original sample (orange pentagons), with AGN candidates removed (empty orange stars), and with both the AGN candidates and over-massive objects removed, the most conservative case (filled orange stars). The comparison is shown with respect to the values found by Grazian et al. (2015, blue circles) and reported in Weaver et al. (2023, green triangles) and Weibel et al. (2024, magenta squares). The cyan crosses report the values found by Gottumukkala et al. (2024), who applied a similar selection to the JWST/CEERS dataset.
