Deconstructing the K-band number counts Barro, Guillermo Gallego Maestro, Jesús Pérez González, Pablo Guillermo Eliche Moral, María del Carmen Balcells, M. Villar, V. Cardiel López, Nicolás Cristobal Hornillos, D. Gil De Paz, Armando Guzmán, R. Pelló, R. Prieto, M. Zamorano Calvo, Jaime We present a study that links the NCs to the rest-frame luminosity functions (LFs) at the passbands probed by the observed K-band at different epochs. Making use of a large K-band selected sample in the Groth Field, HDFN and CDFS (∼0.27deg^(2)), we have derived highly reliable photometric redshift estimates that allow us to estimate LFs in the redshift range [0.25-1.25]. We find that the larger flattening in the slope of the K-band NCs is mostly a consequence of a prominent decrease in the characteristic density (φ∗) around z∼1, and an almost flat evolution of M∗. 2023-06-20T00:48:31Z 2023-06-20T00:48:31Z 2023-06-20T00:48:31Z 2010 journal article https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/43001 1570-6591 10.1007/978-3-642-11250-8_29 eng restricted access Springer-Verlag Berlin
