Table 2: UV luminosity density ${\cal L}_{1700}(M<-18.5)$ integrated up to M1700=-18.5 and total ${\cal L}_{1700}^{{\rm Total}}$ estimated from the VVDS for different fixed values of $\alpha $. "EW'' indicates the equal-weight LFs and "PR'' the photometric-rejection ones. The 68% and 90% (in parenthesis) confidence levels are also provided. Units are 1018 W Mpc-3.
