Galaxy luminosity functions to z∼ 1 from DEEP2 and COMBO-17: Implications for red galaxy formation

TL;DR: The DEEP2 and COMBO-17 surveys are compared to study luminosity functions of red and blue galaxies to z ~ 1, and the results imply that the number and total stellar mass of blue galaxies have been substantially constant since z = 1, whereas those of red galaxies (near L*) have been significantly rising as mentioned in this paper.

Galaxy Luminosity Functions to z~1: DEEP2 vs. COMBO-17 and Implications for Red Galaxy Formation

TL;DR: In this paper, the DEEP2 and COMBO-17 surveys are used to study the evolution of the luminosity function of red and blue galaxies to $z \sim 1$ Schechter function fits show that, since $z = 1$, $M^*_B$ dims by $\sim$ 1.3 mag per unit redshift for both color classes, while red galaxies has formally nearly quadrupled.
