Hill ( University of Texas at Austin, Max-Planck-Institut fuer extraterrestrische Physik, Garching, Universitaets-Sternwarte Muenchen | | Abstract: | (Abriged) We present a measurement of the evolution of the rest-frame K-band luminosity function to z ~ 1.2 using a sample of more than 5000 K-selected galaxies drawn from the MUNICS dataset. Distances and absolute K-band magnitudes are derived using photometric redshifts from spectral energy distribution fits to BVRIJK photometry. These are calibrated using >500 spectroscopic redshifts. We obtain redshift estimates having a rms scatter of 0.055 and no mean bias. We use Monte-Carlo simulations to investigate the influence of the errors in distance associated with photometric redshifts on our ability to reconstruct the shape of the luminosity function. Finally, we construct the rest-frame K-band LF in four redshift bins spanning 0.4 | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0306299 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
