The bright end of the galaxy luminosity function at z =7: before the onset of mass quenching?

Abstract

We present the results of a new search for bright star-forming galaxies at redshift z ≃ 7 within the UltraVISTA second data release (DR2) and UKIDSS (UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey) UDS (Ultra Deep Survey) DR10 data, which together provide 1.65 deg^2 of near-infrared imaging with overlapping optical and Spitzer data. Using a full photometric redshift analysis, to identify high-redshift galaxies and reject contaminants, we have selected a sample of 34 luminous (−22.7
