GOLDRUSH I. UV magnitudes

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We study the UV luminosity functions (LFs) at z~4, 5, 6, and 7 based on the deep large-area optical images taken by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program (SSP).

Description

On the 100 deg^2^ sky of the HSC SSP data available to date, we take enormous samples consisting of a total of 579565 dropout candidates at z~4-7 by the standard color selection technique, 358 out of which are spectroscopically confirmed by our follow-up spectroscopy and other studies.

We obtain UV LFs at z~4-7 that span a very wide UV luminosity range of ~0.002-100L^*^_UV_(-26<M_UV_<-14mag) by combining LFs from our program and the ultra-deep Hubble Space Telescope legacy surveys. We derive three parameters of the best-fit Schechter function, {Phi}^*^, M_UV_, and {alpha}, of the UV LFs in the magnitude range where the active galactic nucleus (AGN) contribution is negligible, and find that and {Phi}^*^ decrease from z~4 to 7 with no significant evolution of M_UV_.

Because our HSC SSP data bridge the LFs of galaxies and AGNs with great statistical accuracy, we carefully investigate the bright end of the galaxy UV LFs that are estimated by the subtraction of the AGN contribution either aided by spectroscopy or the best-fit AGN UV LFs. We find that the bright end of the galaxy UV LFs cannot be explained by the Schechter function fits at >2{sigma} significance, and require either double power-law functions or modified Schechter functions that consider a magnification bias due to gravitational lensing.
