Notes. Their sum in quadrature give the total error quoted in Table 1. For details on the computation of each error see Sect. 4.1.

(a)

Redshift bins.

(b)

Relative error induced by the STY LF fit.

(c)

Relative uncertainty derived from the difference in the total LD between the “best” α value quoted in Table 1 and the lower (α = −1.1) and upper (α = −1.73) limits considered. It is considered only when α is set.

(d)

Relative error induced by Poisson noise.

(e)

Relative error induced by cosmic variance.

(f)

Relative error derived accounting for the error of the galaxy weighting scheme in the LF fit.
