Descripción
We present our latest results based on the Spitzer Cosmological Surveys
about the characterization of the mass assembly of galaxies in the last
12 Gyr. We have analyzed the stellar mass function up to z=4 using a
sample of galaxies selected in the rest-frame near-infrared with
Spitzer/IRAC, and the SFR function using MIPS data. Our results confirm
and quantify the ``downsizing'' scenario of galaxy formation. We have
also analyzed the role of X-ray emitting AGN in the downsizing process.
We do not find strong evidences in AGN host galaxies for either highly
suppressed star formation, expected if AGN played a role in quenching
star formation, or elevated star formation when compared to mass
selected galaxies of similar stellar masses and redshifts.
