The evolution of the luminosity functions in the FORS Deep Field from low to high redshift: I. The blue bands

A. Gabasch, R. Bender, S. Seitz +13

We use the very deep and homogeneous I-band selected dataset of the FORS Deep Field (FDF) to trace the evolution of the luminosity function over the redshift range 0.5 < z < 5.0. W…
