Dust mass functions derived using the V_MAX method for dust masses of the galaxies obtained via SED fitting (red boxes and black circles with errors, computed following Gehrels 1986). The evolutive best fit of the CIGALE + Herschel is displayed as a solid red line, with shaded error bands of the same color, and the individual A³COSMOS fit is shown as the shaded pink area. The errors on the evolutive best fit are computed by bootstrapping on the dust masses of the sources. For comparison, different estimates from the literature are reported. The light blue circles and squares show the values obtained by Pozzi et al. (2020), and the dashed cyan lines correspond to the best-fit. The dashed gray curves are from Dunne et al. (2003). The blue circle shows the estimate by Magnelli et al. (2019), and the dashed line is the ALPINE dust mass function by Pozzi et al. (2021).
