Abstract

Using the multiwavelength photometric and spectroscopic data covering the CDF-S obtained within the GOODS, we investigate the rest-frame UV properties of galaxies to z~2.2, including the evolution of the luminosity function, the luminosity density, star formation rate (SFR) and galaxy morphology. We find a significant brightening (~ 1 mag) in the rest-frame 2800A characteristic magnitude (M*) over the redshift range 0.31. Finally, we find that galaxy sizes for a luminosity selected sample evolves as (1+z)^{-1.1} between redshifts z=2.2 and z=1.1. This is consistent with previous measurements and suggests a similar evolution over the redshift range 0 < z < 6.
