Wilson1 Draft version February 2, 2008 ABSTRACT We present the Spitzer MIPS 24 μm source counts in the Extragalactic First Look Survey main, verification and ELAIS-N1 fields. Spitzer’s increased sensitivity and efficiency in large areal coverage over previous infrared telescopes, coupled with the enhanced sensitivity of the 24 μm band to sources at intermediate redshift, dramatically improve the quality and statistics of number counts in the mid- infrared. The First Look Survey observations cover areas of, respectively, 4.4, 0.26 and 0.015 sq.deg. and reach 3σ depths of 0.11, 0.08 and 0.03 mJy. The extragalactic counts derived for each survey agree remarkably well. The counts can be fitted by a super-Euclidean power law of index α = ?2.9 from 0.2 to 0.9 mJy, with a flattening of the counts at fluxes fainter than 0.2 mJy. Comparison with infrared galaxy evolution models reveals a peak’s displacement in the 24 μm counts. This is probably due to the detection of a new population of galaxies with redshift between 1 and 2, previously unseen in the 15 μm deep counts. Subject headings: galaxies: statistics — infrared: galaxies 1. INTRODUCTION The mid- and far-infrared regions of the electromag- netic spectrum probe the population of starburst galax- ies obscured by dust. Counting galaxies as a function of mid and far-infrared fluxes therefore puts new limits on the inferred geometry of the Universe. Moreover, using counts at different wavelengths and extragalactic back- ground
