Abstract

We report the updated UV luminosity function (LF) of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z~5. Combining with lower redshift data, we found that the evolution of UV LF is differential depending on the UV luminosity; i.e., the number density of luminous LBGs does not change significantly from z=5 to 3, while the number density of faint (L
