The local galaxy 8 μm luminosity function
A Spitzer Space Telescope survey in the NOAO Deep Wide Field in Bootes provides a complete, 8 μm-selected sample of galaxies to a limiting (Vega) magnitude of 13.5. In the 6.88 deg2 field sampled, 79% of the 4867 galaxies have spectroscopic redshifts, allowing an accurate determination of the local...
