We present new deep images of the Coma Cluster from the ESA Herschel Space Observatory at wavelengths of 70, 100 and 160 microns, covering an area of 1.75 x 1.0 square degrees encompassing the core and southwest infall region. Our data display an excess of sources at flux densities above 100 mJy compared to blank-field surveys, as expected. We use extensive optical spectroscopy of this region to identify cluster members and hence produce cluster luminosity functions in all three photometric bands. We compare our results to the local field galaxy luminosity function, and the luminosity functions from the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS). We find consistency between the shapes of the Coma and field galaxy luminosity functions at all three wavelengths, however we do not find the same level of agreement with that of the Virgo Cluster.

We present galaxy luminosity functions at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 micron measured by combining photometry from the IRAC Shallow Survey with redshifts from the AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey Bootes field. The well-de
fined IRAC samples contain 3800-5800 galaxies for the 3.6-8.0 micron bands with spectroscopic redshifts and z < 0.6. We obtained relatively complete luminosity functions in the local redshift bin of z < 0.2 for all four IRAC channels that are well fit by Schechter functions. We found significant evolution in the luminosity functions for all four IRAC channels that can be fit as an evolution in M* with redshift, Delta M* = Qz. While we measured Q=1.2pm0.4 and 1.1pm0.4 in the 3.6 and 4.5 micron bands consistent with the predictions from a passively evolving population, we obtained Q=1.8pm1.1 in the 8.0 micron band consistent with other evolving star formation rate estimates. We compared our LFs with the predictions of semi-analytical galaxy formation and found the best agreement at 3.6 and 4.5 micron, rough agreement at 8.0 micron, and a large mismatch at 5.8 micron. These models also predicted a comparable Q value to our luminosity functions at 8.0 micron, but predicted smaller values at 3.6 and 4.5 micron. We also measured the luminosity functions separately for early and late-type galaxies. While the luminosity functions of late-type galaxies resemble those for the total population, the luminosity functions of early-type galaxies in the 3.6 and 4.5 micron bands indicate deviations from the passive evolution model, especially from the measured flat luminosity density evolution. Combining our estimates with other measurements in the literature, we found (53pm18)% of the present stellar mass of early-type galaxies has been assembled at z=0.7.
We describe the construction and the properties of the SWIRE-SDSS database, a preliminary derivation of the Far-Infrared Local Luminosity Functions at 24/70/160 micron based on such a database and ways in which VO tools will allow to refine and extend such work.
We describe a far infrared survey of the Coma cluster and the galaxy filament it resides within. Our survey covers an area of $sim$150 deg$^2$ observed by $Herschel$ H-ATLAS in five bands at 100, 160, 250, 350 and 500$mu$m. The SDSS spectroscopic sur
vey ($m_{r} le 17.8)$ is used to define an area (within the Virial radius) and redshift selected ($4268 < v < 9700$ km s$^{-1}$) sample of 744 Coma cluster galaxies - the Coma Cluster Catalogue (CCC). For comparison we also define a sample of 951 galaxies in the connecting filament - the Coma Filament Catalogue (CFC). The optical positions and parameters are used to define appropriate apertures to measure each galaxys far infrared emission. We have detected 99 of 744 (13%) and 422 of 951 (44%) of the cluster and filament galaxies in the SPIRE 250$mu$m band. We consider the relative detection rates of galaxies of different morphological types finding that it is only the S0/Sa population that shows clear differences between the cluster and filament. We find no differences between the dust masses and temperatures of cluster and filament galaxies with the exception of early type galaxy dust temperatures, which are significantly hotter in the cluster than in the filament (X-ray heating?). From a chemical evolution model we find no evidence for different evolutionary processes (gas loss or infall) between galaxies in the cluster and filament.
We present infrared galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) in the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) deep field using recently-obtained, wider CFHT optical/near-IR images. AKARI has obtained deep images in the mid-infrared (IR), covering 0.6 deg$^2$ of the N
EP deep field. However, our previous work was limited to the central area of 0.25 deg$^2$ due to the lack of optical coverage of the full AKARI NEP survey. To rectify the situation, we recently obtained CFHT optical and near-IR images over the entire AKARI NEP deep field. These new CFHT images are used to derive accurate photometric redshifts, allowing us to fully exploit the whole AKARI NEP deep field. AKARIs deep, continuous filter coverage in the mid-IR wavelengths (2.4, 3.2, 4.1, 7, 9, 11, 15, 18, and 24$mu$m) exists nowhere else, due to filter gaps of other space telescopes. It allows us to estimate restframe 8$mu$m and 12$mu$m luminosities without using a large extrapolation based on spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting, which was the largest uncertainty in previous studies. Total infrared luminosity (TIR) is also obtained more reliably due to the superior filter coverage. The resulting restframe 8$mu$m, 12$mu$m, and TIR LFs at $0.15<z<2.2$ are consistent with previous works, but with reduced uncertainties, especially at the high luminosity-end, thanks to the wide field coverage. In terms of cosmic infrared luminosity density ($Omega_{mathrm{IR}}$), we found that the $Omega_{mathrm{IR}}$ evolves as $propto (1+z)^{4.2pm 0.4}$.
We present infrared luminosity functions and dust mass functions for the EAGLE cosmological simulation, based on synthetic multi-wavelength observations generated with the SKIRT radiative transfer code. In the local Universe, we reproduce the observe
d infrared luminosity and dust mass functions very well. Some minor discrepancies are encountered, mainly in the high luminosity regime, where the EAGLE-SKIRT luminosity functions mildly but systematically underestimate the observed ones. The agreement between the EAGLE-SKIRT infrared luminosity functions and the observed ones gradually worsens with increasing lookback time. Fitting modified Schechter functions to the EAGLE-SKIRT luminosity and dust mass functions at different redshifts up to $z=1$, we find that the evolution is compatible with pure luminosity/mass evolution. The evolution is relatively mild: within this redshift range, we find an evolution of $L_{star,250}propto(1+z)^{1.68}$, $L_{star,text{TIR}}propto(1+z)^{2.51}$ and $M_{star,text{dust}}propto(1+z)^{0.83}$ for the characteristic luminosity/mass. For the luminosity/mass density we find $varepsilon_{250}propto(1+z)^{1.62}$, $varepsilon_{text{TIR}}propto(1+z)^{2.35}$ and $rho_{text{dust}}propto(1+z)^{0.80}$, respectively. The mild evolution of the dust mass density is in relatively good agreement with observations, but the slow evolution of the infrared luminosity underestimates the observed luminosity evolution significantly. We argue that these differences can be attributed to increasing limitations in the radiative transfer treatment due to increasingly poorer resolution, combined with a slower than observed evolution of the SFR density in the EAGLE simulation and the lack of AGN emission in our EAGLE-SKIRT post-processing recipe.
