Descripción
Luminosity functions are one of the most important observational clues
when studying galaxy evolution over cosmic time. In this paper we
present the X-ray luminosity functions for X-ray detected AGN in the
SXDS and GWS fields. The limiting fluxes of our samples are 9.0
×10-15 and 4.8 ×10-16 erg
cm-2 s-1 in the 0.5-7.0 keV band in the two
fields, respectively. We carried out analysis in three X-ray bands and
in two redshift intervals up to z≤1.4. Moreover, we derive the
luminosity functions for different optical morphologies and X-ray types.
We confirm strong luminosity evolution in all three bands, finding the
most luminous objects at higher redshift. However, no signs of density
evolution are found in any tested X-ray band. We obtain similar results
for compact and early-type objects. Finally, we observe the ``Steffen
effect'', where X-ray type-1 sources are more numerous at higher
luminosities in comparison with type-2 sources.

Evolución de Galaxias
El estudio de la evolución de las galaxias es un tema crucial de la Astronomía Extragaláctica moderna. Permite vincular las galaxias locales con las primeras que existieron en el universo. Pero para poder abordarlo es preciso obtener censos estadísticamente significativos de galaxias de distintas luminosidades, a distintas distancias
