Lyman-break galaxies at z ≳ 4 and the evolution of the ultraviolet luminosity density at high redshift.
STEIDEL C.C., ADELBERGER K.L., GIAVALISCO M., DICKINSON M. and PETTINI M.
Abstract (from CDS):
If the true luminosity density at z∼4 is somewhat higher than implied by the HDF, as our ground-based sample suggests, then the emissivity of star formation as a function of redshift would appear essentially constant for all z>1 once internally consistent corrections for dust are made. This suggests that there may be no obvious peak in star formation activity and that the onset of substantial star formation in galaxies might occur at z≳4.5.
