Luminosity function for the [O II]3727 emitters at z ∼ 1.43 (black circles), with extinction and completeness corrected. The error bars correspond to the total uncertainties given in Table 4, and obtained as described in the text. The open circle marks the lowest luminosity bin and was not employed in the fitting. The black line is the best error-weighted fit of Schechter (1976) function. The green, blue, and orange lines are the LFs from Drake et al. (2013), Ly et al. (2007), and Hayashi et al. (2013) respectively. The shaded areas represent the propagation of 1σ uncertainties of the tabulated LF after 10⁴ Monte Carlo realisations. For the OTELO data fitting, this propagation includes the standard deviation of the mean L^* value. In each case, the solid line extend over the sampled luminosity range (see the right side columns in Table 4) and the dashed line is the extrapolation of the corresponding best fit.
