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. We show that the FDF I-band selection down to I(AB)=26.8…

We present a catalogue of photometric redshifts for galaxies from DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys, which includes $\sim0.18$ billion sources covering 14,000 ${\rm deg}^2$. The photometric redshifts, along with their uncertainties, are estimated…
