A census of K-band galaxies from the UKIDSS large area survey

Much can be learned about the formation of galaxies by taking a census of the present-day population. As a first step towards such an endeavour, I present luminosity and surface brightness distributions of 36 659 galaxies with K-band photometry from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large...
