Infrared Luminosity Functions from the Chandra Deep Field–South: The<i>Spitzer</i>View on the History of Dusty Star Formation at 0 ≲<i>z</i>≲ 1

We analyze a sample of ~2600 MIPS/Spitzer 24mic sources brighter than ~80muJy and located in the Chandra Deep Field South to characterize the evolution of the comoving infrared (IR) energy density of the Universe up to z~1. Using published ancillary optical data we first obtain a nearly complete redshift determination …
