摘要：

The CO luminosity function that was originally derived by Verter is here reevaluated for a galaxy sample that is drawn from the published portion of the FCRAO Extragalactic CO Survey satisfying B(T)0 less-than-or-equal-to 12 mag. The derived CO luminosity function is approximately a power law [L(CO)]-alpha, with alpha almost-equal-to -1.3. This is consistent with previous galaxy luminosity functions in the blue and infrared, and with correlations between L(CO) and L(B) or L(IR).
