Fig. 2.
Left panel: expected galaxy surface density as a function of the i-band magnitude limit: comparison of LSST Science Collaboration et al. (2009) extrapolation, numbers derived from the Dahlen et al. (2005) and Zucca et al. (2009) LFs parameters. Right panel: number of galaxies per Mpc3 as a function of redshift, for the LSST golden selection cut from Dahlen et al. (2005) and Zucca et al. (2009) LFs. Purple squares show results obtained with the Zucca et al. (2009) numbers, orange triangles show results obtained with the Dahlen et al. (2005) ones.
