VizieR Online Data Catalog: Galaxy luminosity function at z = 7-9 (McLure+, 2013)
Abstract
The data sets analysed in this paper form a 'wedding-cake' structure ranging from the ultra-deep UDF12 observations covering an area of only ~=4.5arcmin2 to wider area WFC3/IR survey data covering several hundred arcmin2. Below we provide the basic observational details of each data set in turn.
The data set which plays the pivotal role in constraining the faint end of the galaxy LF at z>=7 and provides the primary motivation for this paper is the new UDF12 WFC3/IR multiband imaging of the HUDF (GO 12498, P.I. Ellis). To increase our ability to constrain the faint end of the high-redshift LF we have also utilized the WFC3/IR imaging available in the two parallel fields of the HUDF09 imaging campaign, hereafter HUDF09-1 and HUDF09-2. In addition to the HUDF and parallel fields, we have made extensive use of the publicly available WFC3/IR imaging of the GOODS-S field provided by CANDELS (Grogin et al., 2011ApJS..197...35G; Koekemoer et al., 2011ApJS..197...36K). In order to significantly increase the total areal coverage of our data set, crucial for constraining the bright end of the z>=7 galaxy LF, we have also analysed the publicly available CANDELS WFC3/IR+ACS imaging in the UDS (Lawrence et al., 2007MNRAS.379.1599L, Cat. II/314). In order to increase our ability to constrain the bright end of the z=8 LF, we have performed our own reduction and analysis (Bowler et al., in preparation) of the data taken by the BoRG survey (Trenti et al. 2011ApJ...727L..39T, 2012ApJ...746...55T).
