Abstract

Context.The luminosity function (LF) is a basic tool in the study of galaxy evolution since it constrains galaxy formation models. The earliest LF estimates in the IR and far-IR spectral ranges seem to suggest strong evolution. Deeper samples are needed to confirm these predictions. We have a useful IR data set, which provides a direct link between IRAS and ISO surveys, and the forthcoming deeper Spitzer Space Telescope and Akari cosmological surveys, to address this issue.
