Scientific paper

Researchers constructed a volume limited sample of 443 optically selected nearby galaxies from the Zwicky catalog to study far infrared luminosity functions. Schechter function fits and integrated luminosity densities are calculated. Comparing the resulting infrared spectrum with the infrared spectrum for interstellar matter in the solar neighborhood, researchers find most of the infrared emission is due to dust heated by the interstellar radiation field, except at 60 micron emission where star forming regions contribute significantly.
