Description
In a companion Letter (Arnouts et al.) we present new measurements of the galaxy luminosity function at 1500 Å out to z~ 1 using Galaxy Evolution Explorer VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey observations (1039 galaxies with NUV≤ 24.5 and z> 0.2) and at higher z using existing data sets. In this Letter we use the same sample to study evolution of the FUV luminosity density ρ 1500. We detect evolution consistent with a (1+ z) 2.5±0.7 rise to z~ 1 and (1+ z) 0.5±0.4 for z> 1. The luminosity density from the most UV-luminous galaxies (UVLGs) is undergoing dramatic evolution (30 times) between 0< z< 1. UVLGs are responsible for a significant fraction (> 25%) of the total far-ultraviolet luminosity density at z~ 1. We measure dust attenuation and star formation rates of our sample galaxies and determine the star formation rate density (⋆) as a function of redshift, both uncorrected and corrected for dust. We find good agreement …
