All Tables

Table 1: Units of right ascension are hours, minutes and seconds, and units of declination are degrees, arcminutes and arcseconds.
Table 2: Main characteristics of the datasets in HDFN. Column (1): observing band. Column (2): effective wavelength of the filter calculated by convolving the Vega spectrum (Colina & Bohlin 1994) with the transmission curve of the filter + detector. Column (3): limiting AB magnitude. Column (4): source from where the data were obtained.
Table 3: Main characteristics of the datasets in Groth. Column (1): observing band. Column (2): effective wavelength of the filter calculated by convolving the Vega spectrum (Colina & Bohlin 1994) with the transmission curve of the filter+detector. Column (3): limiting AB magnitude. Column (4): source from where the data were obtained.
Table 4: Differential number counts in 0.5 mag bins for the K-selected samples in HDFN, CDFS and the Groth field, uncorrected for completeness. Only the NCs up to the completeness limit of each field are shown.
Table 5: Best fitting Schechter parameters for the STY LFs from our combined samples. The 1 $\sigma$ errors were derived from Monte Carlo simulations.
Table 6: Summary of the derived parameters of the LF parameters obtained by various authors by fitting them with Schechter functions, in several rest-frame bands, in different redshift bins, and from different samples of field galaxies.
Table 7: Theoretical K-band NCs and NCs slope in 0.5 mag bins derived from the LF of Sect. 8.
