Measuring the Average Evolution of Luminous Galaxies at z < 3: The Rest-Frame Optical Luminosity Density, Spectral Energy Distribution, and Stellar Mass Density
We present the evolution of the volume-averaged properties of the rest-frame optically luminous (LV>3×1010 h-270 Lsolar) galaxy population to z~3, determined from four disjoint deep fields. We characterize their rest-frame UV through optical properties via the mean SED. To measure evolution, we apply the selection criteria to a sample of galaxies
