Abstract

Abstract We present new measurements of galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) from JWST/NIRCam imaging over the redshift range z  = 4.5–9.7, using photometric catalogs from JADES and public extragalactic fields. Our analysis includes rest-frame UV and B -band LFs, as well as apparent LFs in F090W, F115W, F200W, F356W, and F444W. We present the first constraints on the rest-frame B -band LF at z  ∼ 7–8 and extend existing measurements at z  ∼ 5 to ..
