cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesphotometryultraviolet-astronomyWe have detected 506 i-dropouts (z~6 galaxies) in deep, wide-area HST ACS fields: HUDF, enhanced GOODS, and HUDF parallel ACS fields (HUDF-Ps). The contamination levels are <~8% (i.e., >~92% are at z~6). With these samples, we present the most comprehensive, quantitative analyses of z~6 galaxies yet and provide optimal measures of the UV luminosity function (LF) and luminosity density at z~6, and their evolution to z~3. We redetermine the size and color evolution from z~6 to z~3. Field-to-field variations (cosmic variance), completeness, flux, and contamination corrections are modeled systematically and quantitatively.2006ApJ...653...53Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/653/53CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/261 : GOODS initial results (Giavalisco+, 2004)J/AJ/132/1023 : U-band dropouts in Hubble Ultra Deep Field (Wadadekar+, 2006)J/AJ/132/1729 : Hubble Ultra Deep Field BVI-dropout sources (Beckwith+, 2006)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/653/53https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/653/53http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/653/53https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/653/53https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/653/53http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/653/53GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/653/53/table2 (A sample of intrinsic red (i-z)>1, (z-J)>0.8 (AB scale) objects identified in the CDF-S GOODS field)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table2?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table2?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table2?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true53.1484583-27.71947220.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJ/653/53/table3 (i-z>1.3 point-like (stellar) sources not included in our i-dropout compilation)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true189.242166762.31433330.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJ/653/53/table4 (UDF i-dropout sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table4?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table4?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table4?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true53.1667083-27.80413890.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJ/653/53/table5 (HUDF-Ps i-dropout sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table5?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table5?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table5?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true53.2062083-27.90677780.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJ/653/53/table6 (GOODS i-dropout sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table6?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table6?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table6?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true53.1067083-27.93019440.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJ/653/53/table18 (i-dropouts in the HUDF which were blended with foreground galaxies in our main HUDF catalog)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table18?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table18?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/653/53/table18?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true53.1599583-27.79966670.0055555555555555566/11252 35935https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/653/53?format=asciiUVOpticaldefaultJ/ApJ/653/53/table2A sample of intrinsic red (i-z)>1, (z-J)>0.8 (AB scale) objects identified in the CDF-S GOODS fieldrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
