We plot the area covered in each UKIDSS filter band as a function of the limiting depth expressed in terms of the M_* completeness at a specific redshift. Assuming that all other bands are sufficiently deep, the completeness limit corresponds to the faintest theoretical galaxy with a maximum reasonable M/L that is detected at 5σ in the relevant band.
