COLIBRE simulations underpredict bright-end UV galaxy luminosities by 1 to 2.5 magnitudes at z=7-15 compared with observations, with the discrepancy persisting after dust attenuation and uncertainty accounting.
COLIBRE simulations with SKIRT post-processing match observed galaxy luminosity functions from FUV to submm at z=0, except underpredicting bright mid-IR galaxies.
