Caption: Figure 8.
Completeness-corrected differential distribution of contribution to the CIB vs. flux density of the corresponding 24 μm galaxies. The result for the uncorrected differential stack is also shown for reference with a gray solid line to emphasize the fact that completeness only affects the two lowest bins. The 24 μm sources are divided into high- and low-redshift bins, as described in Section 4.2. The binning in 24 μm flux density is the same as in Figure 5, with the three highest flux density bins suppressed due to the small number of sources. The lowest 24 μm flux density bin is comprised of tentative detections, and so is possibly less certain than the error bars indicate (see Section 4.5). The low- and high-redshift curves have been horizontally displaced by −3% and +3%, respectively, for visual clarity.
