TLDR
In this article, the authors constrain the rest-frame FUV, NUV and U-band luminosity functions with unprecedented precision from z ∼ 0.2 to z ∼ 3.Abstract:
We constrain the rest-frame FUV (1546 A), NUV (2345 A), and U-band (3690 A) luminosity functions (LFs) and luminosity densities (LDs) with unprecedented precision from z ∼ 0.2 to z ∼ 3 (FUV, NUV) and z ∼ 2 (U band). Our sample of over 4.3 million galaxies, selected from the CFHT Large Area U-band Deep Survey (CLAUDS) and HyperSuprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) data lets us probe the very faint regime (down to MFUV, MNUV, MU ≃ −15 at low redshift), while simultaneously detecting very rare galaxies at the bright end down to comoving densities 1 it is due to the evolution of both $M^\star _{\rm UV}$ and the characteristic number density $\phi ^\star _{\rm UV}$. In contrast, the U-band LF has an excess of faint galaxies and is fitted with a double-Schechter form; $M^\star _{U}$, both $\phi ^\star _{U}$ components, and the bright-end slope evolve throughout 0.2 < z < 2, while the faint-end slope is constant over at least the measurable 0.05 < z < 0.6. We present tables of our Schechter parameters and LD measurements that can be used for testing theoretical galaxy evolution models and forecasting future observations.read more

The Luminosity function and stellar evolution
TL;DR: In this paper, the evolutionary significance of the observed luminosity function for main-sequence stars in the solar neighborhood is discussed and it is shown that stars move off the main sequence after burning about 10 per cent of their hydrogen mass and that stars have been created at a uniform rate in a solar neighborhood for the last five billion years.
