We have determined the luminosity function of 250 μm-selected galaxies detected in the ∼14 deg science demonstration region of the HerschelATLAS project out to a redshift of z = 0.5. Our findings very clearly show that the luminosity function evolves steadily out to this redshift. By selecting a sub-group of sources within a fixed luminosity interval where incompleteness effects are minimal, we...
