Query: The Munich Near-Infrared Cluster Survey (MUNICS) - IX. Galaxy Evolution
  to z ~ 2 From Optically Selected Catalogues   (Abridged) We present B, R, and I-band selected galaxy catalogues based on
the Munich Near-Infrared Cluster Survey (MUNICS) which, together with the
K-selected sample, serve as an important probe of galaxy evolution in the
redshift range 0 < z < 2. Furthermore, used in comparison they are ideally
suited to study selection effects. The construction of the B, R, and I-selected
photometric catalogues, containing ~9000, ~9000, and ~6000 galaxies,
respectively, is described in detail. The catalogues reach 50% completeness
limits for point sources of B ~ 24.5mag, R ~ 23.5mag, and I ~ 22.5mag and cover
an area of about 0.3 square degrees. Photometric redshifts are derived for all
galaxies with an accuracy of dz/(1+z) ~ 0.057. We investigate the influence of
selection band and environment on the specific star formation rate (SSFR). We
find that K-band selection indeed comes close to selection in stellar mass,
while B-band selection purely selects galaxies in star formation rate. We use a
galaxy group catalogue constructed on the K-band selected MUNICS sample to
study possible differences of the SSFR between the field and the group
environment, finding a marginally lower average SSFR in groups as compared to
the field, especially at lower redshifts. The field-galaxy luminosity function
in the B and R band as derived from the R-selected sample evolves out to z ~ 2
in the sense that the characteristic luminosity increases but the number
density decreases. This effect is smaller at longer rest-frame wavelengths and
gets more pronounced at shorter wavelengths. Parametrising the redshift
evolution of the Schechter parameters as M*(z) = M*(0) + a ln(1+z) and Phi*(z)
= Phi*(0) (1+z)^b we find evolutionary parameters a ~ -2.1 and b ~ -2.5 for the
B band, and a ~ -1.4 and b ~ -1.8 for the R band.
