cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesultraviolet-photometryredshiftedHere we provide the most comprehensive determinations of the rest-frame UV luminosity function (LF) available to date with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) at z~2-9. Essentially all of the noncluster extragalactic legacy fields are utilized, including the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, the Hubble Frontier Fields parallel fields, and all five CANDELS fields, for a total survey area of 1136arcmin^2^. Our determinations include galaxies at z~2-3 leveraging the deep HDUV, UVUDF, and ERS WFC3/UVIS observations available over an ~150arcmin^2^ area in the GOODS-North and GOODS-South regions. All together, our collective samples include >24000 sources, >2.3x larger than previous selections with HST. We identify 5766, 6332, 7240, 3449, 1066, 601, 246, and 33 sources at z~2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, respectively. Combining our results with an earlier z~10 LF determination by Oesch et al., we quantify the evolution of the UV LF. Our results indicate that there is (1) a smooth flattening of the faint-end slope {alpha} from {alpha}~-2.4 at z~10 to {alpha}~-1.5 at z~2, (2) minimal evolution in the characteristic luminosity M* at z>~2.5, and (3) a monotonic increase in the normalization log_10_\{phi}* from z~10 to 2, which can be well described by a simple second-order polynomial, consistent with an "accelerated" evolution scenario. We find that each of these trends (from z~10 to 2.5 at least) can be readily explained on the basis of the evolution of the halo mass function and a simple constant star formation efficiency model.2021AJ....162...47Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/162/47CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/AJ/127/2856 : Brown dwarfs in the 2MASS Survey (Burgasser+, 2004)J/ApJ/600/L99 : Colours of z~6 galaxies in GOODS (Dickinson+, 2004)J/AJ/132/1729 : Hubble Ultra Deep Field BVI-dropout sources (Beckwith+, 2006)J/A+A/556/A55 : Multi-color photometry of star-forming galaxies (Ilbert+, 2013)J/ApJ/777/18 : Stellar mass functions of galaxies to z=4 (Muzzin+, 2013)J/MNRAS/432/2696 : Galaxy luminosity function at z = 7-9 (McLure+, 2013)J/ApJ/793/115 : UV-continuum slopes beta for z~4-8 galaxies (Bouwens+, 2014)J/MNRAS/440/2810 : Galaxy luminosity function at z =~ 7 (Bowler+, 2014)J/AJ/149/178 : Redshift catalog galaxies in GOODS-South field (Morris+, 2015)J/AJ/150/31 : Photometry & redshifts of galaxies in the UDF (Rafelski+, 2015)J/ApJ/803/34 : z~4-10 galaxies from HST legacy fields (Bouwens+, 2015)J/ApJ/810/71 : UV mag of candidate galaxies at 3~<z~<8.5 (Finkelstein+, 2015)J/ApJS/221/23 : IRAC HUDF and GOODS ultradeep surveys (Labbe+, 2015)J/ApJ/821/123 : z~4-7 Lyman break galaxies Hubble deep fields (Harikane+, 2016)J/ApJS/225/27 : 3D-HST Survey: grism spectra master catalog (Momcheva+, 2016)J/A+A/608/A2 : MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey.
