We summarize the results from analyzing six clusters of galaxies at 0.14 < z < 0.40 observed with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys. We derive deep composite luminosity functions in B,g,V,r,i and z down to an absolute…

We present galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) DR2 Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) in the g,r,z, and w1 bands over 0.002<z<0.6. Our analysis uses updated k-corrections and evolutionary…

We use 64 square degrees of deep V and R CCD images to measure the local V and R band luminosity function of galaxies. The V_0<16.7 and R_0<16.2 redshift samples contain 1250 galaxies and are 98% complete. We apply k-corrections before the…

[Abridged] We determined the luminosity function (LF) of the Coma cluster galaxies selected by luminosity, and the LF bi-variate in central brightness. The Coma cluster and control fields were imaged using the CFH12K (42x28 arcmin) and UH8K…

The ROSAT-ESO Flux Limited X-ray (REFLEX) galaxy cluster survey and the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) respectively comprise the largest, homogeneous X-ray selected cluster catalogue and completed galaxy redshift survey. In this work…

Using new Keck DEIMOS spectroscopy, we examine the origin of the steep number counts of ultra-faint emission-line galaxies recently reported by Dressler et al. (2011). We confirm six Lyman Alpha emitters (LAEs), three of which have…

We study the UV luminosity functions (LFs) at $z\sim 4$, $5$, $6,$ and $7$ based on the deep large-area optical images taken by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru strategic program (SSP). On the 100 deg$^2$ sky of the HSC SSP data available…

We use the GALEX data of the GUViCS survey to construct the NUV luminosity function of the Virgo cluster over ~ 300 deg.2, an area covering the cluster and its surrounding regions up to ~ 1.8 virial radii. The NUV luminosity function is…

We construct a spectral classification scheme for the galaxies of the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS) based on a principal component analysis of the measured galaxy spectra. We interpret the physical significance of our six spectral…

We derive the $g'$ band galaxy luminosity function (GLF) of quenched red sequence in the Coma cluster from a deep-imaging survey with $\approx1.5\,\mathrm{deg^2}$ around the cluster center. The dataset comprises deep $u'$-, $g'$-, and…

We present a new determination of the UV galaxy luminosity function (LF) at redshift z ~ 7 and z ~ 8, and a first estimate at z ~ 9. An accurate determination of the form and evolution of the LF at high z is crucial for improving our…
