Notes. The first lines for each sample correspond to sums over the data points down to while the second lines correspond to integrals over the best-fit Schechter functions.

(a)

Due to uncertainties in the redshift distributions, there is an additional error component of ~7%, ~5%, and ~4% in the estimated ρUV and ρSFR values for the u-, g-, and r-dropout samples, respectively.

(b)

Corrected for dust extinction using the luminosity dependent correction factors from Bouwens et al. (2009). Systematic errors as a result from the age-dust degeneracy are also included.
