Scientific paper

We compare the galaxy evolution models of Bruzual & Charlot (1993) with the faint galaxy count, size and colour data from the Hubble and Herschel Deep Fields (Metcalfe et al 1996). For qo=0.05, we find that models where the SFR increases exponentially out to z>2 are consistent with all of the observational data. For qo=0.5, such models require an extra population of galaxies which are only seen at high redshift and then rapidly fade or disappear. We find that, whatever the cosmology, the redshift of the faint blue galaxies and hence the epoch of galaxy formation is likely to lie at z>2. We find no implied peak in the SFR at z=1 and we suggest that the reasons for this contradiction with the results of Madau et al (1996) include differences in faint galaxy photometry, in the treatment of spiral dust and in the local galaxy count normalisation.
