Notes. In this model hot-mode sources increase as (1 + z) to zpeak = 0.8, whereas cold-mode sources have a luminosity dependent value of zpeak and a pre-peak increase of (1 + z)3. Both populations have a post-peak decline of (1 + z)-6.5. The numbers in brackets are the peak values after the predicted RLFs are re-sampled using the same redshift bins as in the grid modelling. The “Hot+Cold Mode” column gives zpeak for the combined hot- and cold-mode RLFs extracted via polynomial fitting. The “Grid Model” column gives the corresponding zpeak determined from the best-fit model grid (Sect. 4.2); the lower and upper bounds give the range arising from varying the input parameters used in the grid modelling, as shown by the shaded region in Fig. 5.
