We investigate the luminosity functions of Lyman-break galaxies (LBG) at z~4 and 5 based on the optical imaging data obtained in the Subaru Deep Field Project. Three samples of LBGs in a contiguous 875 arcmin^2 area are constructed. One…

In this work we use the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S) version 2 images to assess the galaxy population out to z ~ 2. We have used two methods of templates fitting of the spectral energy distributions to obtain photometric redshifts and…

The Hubble Deep Field-South observations targeted a high-galactic-latitude field near QSO J2233-606. We present WFPC2 observations of the field in four wide bandpasses centered at roughly 300, 450, 606, and 814 nm. Observations, data…

[Abridged] We present a physical model for the evolution of the ultraviolet (UV) luminosity function (LF) of high-z galaxies taking into account in a self-consistent way their chemical evolution and the associated evolution of dust…

We use very deep (R_lim=27) UGRI imaging to study the evolution of the faint end of the UV-selected galaxy luminosity function from z~4 to z~2. We find that the luminosity function evolves with time and that this evolution is differential…

We have obtained integrated spectra and multi-filter photometry for a repre- sentative sample of ~200 nearby galaxies. These galaxies span the entire Hubble sequence in morphological type, as well as a wide range of luminosities (M_B = -14…

We use the deep ground-based optical photometry of the Lyman Break Galaxy (LBG) Survey to derive robust measurements of the faint-end slope (alpha) of the UV LF at redshifts 1.9<z<3.4. Our sample includes >2000 spectroscopic redshifts and…

We present a survey of bright optical dropout sources in two deep, multiwavelength surveys comprising eleven widely-separated fields, aimed at constraining the galaxy luminosity function at z~7 for sources at 5-10L*(z=6). Our combined…

We show the effectiveness of strong lensing in the characterisation of Lyman continuum emission from faint L<~0.1L* star-forming galaxies at redshift >~ 3. Past observations of L>~L* galaxies at redshift >~3 have provided upper limits of…

We study the LF of the high-z galaxy population with 3<z<4 using a purely I-band magnitude-selected spectroscopic sample obtained in the framework of the VVDS. We determine the LF from the VVDS, taking care to add as few assumptions and as…

We show that the use of red colour as the basis for selecting candidate high redshift dusty galaxies from surveys made with Herschel has proved highly successful. The highest redshift such object, HFLS3, lies at z=6.34 and numerous other…

We introduce a new empirical function for modeling the spectral energy distributions of galaxies. We apply it to a sample of 590 galaxies in the region of the HDF with $z < 1.5$ using multi-color photometry with wide wavelength coverage…
