Ultraviolet Number Counts of Galaxies from Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope Deep Imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South

Deep Swift UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South is used to measure galaxynumber counts in three near-ultraviolet (NUV) filters (uvw2: 1928 Å, uvm2: 2246 Å, and uvw1: 2600 Å) and the uband (3645 Å). UVOT observations cover the break in the slope of the NUV number counts...
