SWIRE-SDSS FIR LLF • The homogeneity, quality, well-characterized limits as well as the sheer size of the SWIRE-SDSS database allow a relatively straighforward estimate of the FIR Local Luminosity Function down to flux levels order(s) of magnitude fainter than IRAS (albeit over a smaller area) • Ample opportunity to extend such a study • Higher redshift ( 0.25 < Z < 0.5 ) • New spectroscopic observations of complete samples • Herschel observations of same fields at 100-500 µm
SWIRE-SDSS Workflow • Download Input Catalogs : SDSS (Pub) , IRSA (Pub) , IRSA (SWIRE) , SSC (Pub) , WSA (ESO),, NED (Pub) • Source Identification : based on position and flux matching, e.g. Nearest-Neighbor or Likelihood Ratio • Quality Control : based on several SWIRE & SDSS flags • Source Characterization : Star/Galaxy • Phot-z calculation following an optimized procedure (TBD skipped so far in favor of SDSS & NED phot-z) • Completeness & Reliability Analysis of all previous steps • Finally : Ad Hoc Science Analysis (e.g. 1/Vmax)
