Abstract

In a companion Letter (Arnouts et al.) we present new measurements of the galaxy luminosity function at 1500 out to using Galaxy Evolution Explorer VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey observations (1039 galaxies z 1 with and and at higher z using existing data sets. In this Letter we use the same sample NUV 24.5 z 1 0.2) to study evolution of the FUV luminosity density . We detect evolution consistent with a rise
