Luminosity Function Evolution

Luminosity Function Evolution is a theoretical framework in galaxy evolution studies that characterizes the redshift-dependent changes in the number density of galaxies as a function of luminosity, distinguishing it from static luminosity functions by explicitly modeling how galaxy populations evolve across cosmic time.
