We present the radio luminosity function (LF) of compact Galactic HII regions, derived by using ˜ 200 sources from the recombination line survey by Caswell & Haynes (1987). The data set is complete for Speak > 1.3 Jy at 5 GHz, corresponding to an integrated flux density of ˜ 3 Jy. The LF is reconstructed by means of a generalized Schmidt's estimator which takes into account the actual spatial distribution of the HII regions along the plane of the Galaxy. The resulting LF is described by a two-component power-law, with a cut-off at log L(α) = ˜ 38.3 erg/sec. This work will be complemented with the derivation, by means of the MIPSGAL data set, of the IR counterpart of the radio LF here presented. An extension of this work will consist in deriving the IR counterpart of the radio LF here obtained, by making use of the MIPSGAL data set.
