Caption: Figure 3.
UV number counts in the uvw2 filter (red triangles). GALEX NUV number counts (Xu et al. 2005; green diamonds), and STIS NUV number counts (Gardner et al. 2000; blue X's) are also plotted with a conversion to the uvw2 filter as described in the text. Model number counts are also plotted for a starburst template galaxy and Calzetti et al. (1994) dust model with A V = 1 and galaxy luminosity function parameters from Wyder et al. (2005). Models for a non-evolving (solid line) and an evolving (dashed line) galaxy luminosity function following Arnouts et al. (2005) are shown.
