All spectra were obtained with the FORS instruments at the ESO VLT with essentially the same spectroscopic set-up. The observed extragalactic objects cover the redshift range 0.1 to 5.0. 98 objects are starburst galaxies and QSOs at z > 2. Using this data set we investigated the evolution of the characteristic spectral properties of bright starburst galaxies and their mutual relations as a function of redshift. Significant evolutionary effects were found for redshifts 2 < z < 4. Most conspicuous are the increase of the average C IV absorption strength, of the dust reddening, and of the intrinsic UV luminosity, and the decrease of the average Lyalpha emission strength with decreasing redshift. In part the observed evolutionary effects can be attributed to an increase of the metallicity of the galaxies with cosmic age. Moreover, the increase of the total star-formation rates and the stronger obscuration of the starburst cores by dusty gas clouds suggest the occurrence of more massive starbursts at later cosmic epochs."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1051/0004-6361:20034434"],["dc.identifier.fs","21437"],["dc.identifier.isi","000221646300012"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/9819"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/48355"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","E D P Sciences"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-6361"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.title","The FORS Deep Field spectroscopic survey"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Assuming that a calibration of the C equivalent widths in terms of the metallicity based on the local sample of starburst galaxies is applicable to high-z objects, we find a significant increase of the average metallicities from about 0.16 Z(.) at the cosmic epoch corresponding to z approximate to 3.2 to about 0.42 Z(.) at z approximate to 2.3. A significant further increase in metallicity during later epochs cannot be detected in our data. Compared to the local starburst galaxies our high-redshift objects tend to be overluminous for a fixed metallicity.

We show that the FDF I-band selection down to I-AB = 26.8 misses of the order of 10% of the galaxies that would be detected in a K-band selected survey with magnitude limit K-AB = 26.3 (like FIRES). Photometric redshifts for 5558 galaxies are estimated based on the photometry in 9 filters (U, B, Gunn g, R, 1, SDSS z, J, K and a special filter centered at 834 nm). A comparison with 362 spectroscopic redshifts shows that the achieved accuracy of the photometric redshifts is Deltaz/(z(spec) + 1) less than or equal to 0.03 with only similar to1% outliers. This allows us to derive luminosity functions with a reliability similar to spectroscopic surveys. In addition, the luminosity functions can be traced to objects of lower luminosity which generally are not accessible to spectroscopy. We investigate the evolution of the luminosity functions evaluated in the restframe UV (1500 Angstrom and 2800 Angstrom), u', B, and g' bands. Comparison with results from the literature shows the reliability of the derived luminosity functions. Out to redshifts of z similar to 2.5 the data are consistent with a slope of the luminosity function approximately constant with redshift, at a value of -1.07 +/- 0.04 in the UV (1500 Angstrom, 2800 Angstrom) as well as u', and -1.25 +/- 0.03 in the blue (g', B). We do not see evidence for a very steep slope (alpha less than or equal to -1.6) in the UV at similar to 3.0 and similar to 4.0 favoured by other authors. There may be a tendency for the faint-end slope to become shallower with increasing redshift but the effect is marginal. We find a brightening of M and a decrease of phi with redshift for all analyzed wavelengths. The effect is systematic and much stronger than what can be expected to be caused by cosmic variance seen in the FDF. The evolution of M and phi from z = 0 to z = 5 is well described by the simple approximations M (z) = M-0( ) + a ln (1 + z) and phi (z) = phi(0)( ) (1 + z)(b) for M and phi . The evolution is very pronounced at shorter wavelengths (a = -2.19, and b = -1.76 for 1500 Angstrom rest wavelength) and decreases systematically with increasing wavelength, but is also clearly visible at the longest wavelength investigated here (a = -1.08, and b = -1.29 for g'). Finally we show a comparison with semi-analytical galaxy formation models."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1051/0004-6361:20035909"],["dc.identifier.fs","38385"],["dc.identifier.isi","000222847800011"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/9825"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/47971"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Edp Sciences S A"],["dc.relation.issn","1432-0746"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.title","The evolution of the luminosity functions in the FORS Deep Field from low to high redshift - I.
