Abstract
We present the 60 μm luminosity function (LF) of the deepest complete IRAS selected sample [1] so far available, in the North Ecliptic Polar Region (NEPR). The LF here is the first step in the multi-wavelength study of this sample which, thanks to our ISOCAM observations, provides a direct link between IRAS and ISOCAM surveys and the forthcoming deeper SIRTF cosmological surveys. The sample is unique in allowing a direct investigation of the evolution of the global Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of dusty galaxies up to a redshift of about 0.3, where the global star formation rate is known to evolve very fast.
