15 Dec 2000 | | Journal: | A&A 367 (2001) 788 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | We present the B-band luminosity function and comoving space and luminosity densities for a sample of 2779 I-band selected field galaxies based on multi-color data from the CADIS survey. The sample is complete down to I_815 = 22 without correction and with completeness correction extends to I_815=23.0. By means of a new multi-color analysis the objects are classified according to their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and their redshifts are determined with typical errors of delta z <= 0.03. We have split our sample into four redshift bins between z=0.1 and z=1.04 and into three SED bins E-Sa,Sa-Sc and starbursting (emission line) galaxies. The evolution of the luminosity function is clearly differential with SED. The normalization phi* of luminosity function for the E-Sa galaxies decreases towards higher redshift, and we find evidence that the comoving galaxy space density decreases with redshift as well. In contrast, we find phi* and the comoving space density increasing with redshift for the Sa-Sc galaxies. For the starburst galaxies we find a steepening of the luminosity function at the faint end and their comoving space density increases with redshift. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0012343 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
