The star formation rate density and dust attenuation evolution over 12 Gyr with the VVDS surveys

Aims. We investigate the global galaxy evolution over 12 Gyr (0.05 z 4.5), from the far ultraviolet (FUV) luminosity function (LF), luminosity density (LD), and star formation rate density (SFRD), using the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS), a single deep galaxy redshift survey with a well controlled selection function. Methods. We combine the VVDS Deep (17.5 I AB 24.0) and Ultra-Deep (23.00 i AB 24.75) redshift surveys, totalizing 11 000 galaxies, to estimate the rest-frame FUV LF and LD, using a wide wavelength range of deep photometry (337 < < 2310 nm). We extract the dust attenuation of the FUV radiation, embedded in the well-constrained spectral energy distributions. We then derive the dust-corrected SFRD.
