The ISO 170um Luminosity Function of Galaxies [PDF]
, 2005 We constructed a local luminosity function (LF) of galaxies using a flux-limited sample (S_170 > 0.195Jy) of 55 galaxies at z < 0.3 taken from the ISO FIRBACK survey at 170um.

The Faint End of the z = 5 Quasar Luminosity Function from the CFHTLS [PDF]
, 2017 We present results from a spectroscopic survey of z ∼ 5 quasars in the CFHT Legacy Survey. Using both optical color selection and a likelihood method, we select 97 candidates over an area of 105 deg2 to a limit of iAB < 23.2, and 7 candidates in the ...

Luminosities of Carbon-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch stars in the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2013 Stars evolving along the Asymptotic Giant Branch can become Carbon-rich in the final part of their evolution. They replenish the inter-stellar medium with nuclear processed material via strong radiative stellar winds.

The white dwarf luminosity function. I. Statistical errors and alternatives [PDF]
, 2006 Over the years, several methods have been proposed to compute galaxy luminosity functions, from the most simple ones -counting sample objects inside a given volume- to very sophisticated ones -like the C- method, the STY method or the Choloniewski method,

Beyond the Galaxy Luminosity Function [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2004 AbstractWith the advent of large-scale surveys (i.e. Legacy Surveys) it is now possible to start looking beyond the galaxy luminosity function (LF) to more detailed statistical representations of the galaxy population, i.e multivariate distributions.

The evolving far-IR galaxy luminosity function and dust-obscured star-formation rate density out to z~5 [PDF]
, 2017 We present a new measurement of the evolving galaxy far-IR luminosity function (LF) extending out to redshifts z~5, with resulting implications for the level of dust-obscured star-formation density in the young Universe. To achieve this we have exploited

The Truncated Lognormal Distribution as a Luminosity Function for SWIFT-BAT Gamma-Ray Bursts
Galaxies, 2016 The determination of the luminosity function (LF) in Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) depends on the adopted cosmology, each one characterized by its corresponding luminosity distance.
