The star formation rate density and dust attenuation evolution over 12 Gyr with the VVDS surveys

Aims. We investigate the global galaxy evolution over  ~12 Gyr (0.05 ≤ z ≤ 4.5), from the far ultraviolet (FUV) luminosity function (LF), luminosity density (LD), and star formation rate density (SFRD), using the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS), a single deep galaxy redshift survey with a well controll...

Description
Summary:Aims. We investigate the global galaxy evolution over  ~12 Gyr (0.05 ≤ z ≤ 4.5), from the far ultraviolet (FUV) luminosity function (LF), luminosity density (LD), and star formation rate density (SFRD), using the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS), a single deep galaxy redshift survey with a well controlled selection function. Methods. We combine the VVDS Deep (17.5 ≤ IAB ≤ 24.0) and Ultra-Deep (23.00 ≤ i'AB ≤ 24.75) redshift surveys, totalizing  ~11 000 galaxies, to estimate the rest-frame FUV LF and LD, using a wide wavelength range of deep photometry (337
