Evolution of the Galaxy Luminosity Function

 

Section gif discussed what was known about N(z) as of 1993. Two recent surveys have greatly contributed to the understanding of the evolution of the galaxy luminosity function with redshift: The CFRS and Autofib Surveys. Both deserve special attention as they provide an important framework for the interpretation of results from an internal kinematics survey.
