Comparison of the 68% and 95% likelihood contours we derive for the z = 4–9 LFs (dark- and light-gray shaded regions, respectively) with the predictions of DRAGONS (Liu et al. 2016), CROC (Gnedin 2016), Finlator et al. (2017), Park et al. (2019), Yung et al. (2019), and Ocvirk et al. (2020). The solid magenta circles show the blank-field results obtained by Bouwens et al. (2021a). The LF results are only shown fainter than −20 mag to focus on the faint-end form of the models and not the behavior of the models at the bright end where treatment of dust extinction can play a dominant role. No comparison is made to z ∼ 2–3 due to the general lack of model LF predictions for these redshift intervals. In general, we find excellent consistency between our new observational results and the different expectations from the theoretical models.
