Star formation history of the Universe including the result of the present study (empty red circle symbol) and the data of Wyder et al. (2005), Reddy & Steidel (2009), van der Burg et al. (2010), and Oesch et al. (2012). For consistency, all points in this figure have been corrected for dust reddening (see text). The red line shows the parametrization of the corrected SFH following Cole et al. (2001) (see text) and the dark line displays the evolution of the uncorrected SFRd (i.e. without dust extinction correction; the corresponding points are not shown to avoid confusion).
