Comparison of the LFs with the theoretical predictions in the literature at z ∼ 9, z ∼ 10, and z ∼ 12. The symbols are the same as Figure 6, The color dashed lines denote the theoretical predictions of SC-SAM (L. Y. A. Yung et al. 2019), FLARES (A. P. Vijayan et al. 2021; C. C. Lovell et al. 2023; S. M. Wilkins et al. 2023), DELPHI (P. Dayal et al. 2014; V. Mauerhofer & P. Dayal 2023), Thesan (R. Kannan et al. 2023), Bluetides (S. M. Wilkins et al. 2017), and Universe Machine (P. Behroozi et al. 2020). In each redshift range, our lower limit estimate in the brightest M UV challenges several theoretical predictions, confirming the earlier arguments of the high abundance of UV-bright (M UV ≲ −20) galaxies in previous photometric studies in a spectroscopic manner at z ∼ 9–12.
