The K Band Luminosity Functions of Galaxies in High Redshift Clusters

Astrophysics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

K band luminosity functions (LFs) of three, massive, high redshift clusters of galaxies are presented. The evolution of K*, the characteristic magnitude of the LF, is consistent with purely passive evolution, and a redshift of forma tion z = 1.5-2.
