We present a measurement of the K-band luminosity function (LF) of field galaxies obtained from near-infrared imaging of a sample of 345 galaxies selected from the Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey. The LF is well-fitted over the ten magnitude…

In this paper we explore a quantitative and efficient method to constrain the halo properties of distant galaxy populations through ``galaxy--galaxy" lensing and show that the mean masses and sizes of halos can be estimated accurately,…

Using DESI SV3 spectroscopic group centrals together with deep HSC photometric data, we measure the conditional luminosity functions (CLFs) of central and satellite galaxies, separately for red and blue populations, in dark matter halos…

(Summary) Using the conditional luminosity function (CLF) -- the luminosity distribution of galaxies in a dark matter halo -- as the fundamental building block, we present an empirical model for the galaxy distribution. The model…

[Abridged] We present a robust measurement of the rest-frame UV luminosity function (LF) and its evolution during the peak epoch of cosmic star formation at 1<z<3. We use our deep near ultraviolet imaging from WFC3/UVIS on the Hubble Space…

We present preliminary measurements of the b_J and K-band luminosity functions (LFs) of field galaxies obtained from optical and K-band imaging of a sample of galaxies selected from the Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey. The b_J LF is consistent…

We present a new determination of the evolving galaxy UV luminosity function (LF) over the redshift range $9.5<z<12.5$ based on a wide-area ($>250$ arcmin$^2$) data set of JWST NIRCam near-infrared imaging assembled from thirteen public…

The luminosity functions of galaxies and quasars provide invaluable information about galaxy and quasar formation. Estimating the luminosity function from magnitude limited samples is relatively straightforward, provided that the distances…

We use our catalog of photometric redshifts in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) to estimate the Luminosity Function (LF) of galaxies up to z=2. Using the obtained LF and a relationship between luminosity and halo size, we calculate the expected…

We study the evolution of the galaxy population up to z\sim3 as a function of its colour properties. In particular, luminosity functions and luminosity densities have been derived as a function of redshift for the blue/late and red/early…

We discuss a bias present in the calculation of the global luminosity function (LF) which occurs when analysing faint galaxy samples. This effect exists because of the different spectral energy distributions of galaxies, which are in turn…

We construct and analyze a u-band selected galaxy sample from the SDSS Southern Survey, which covers 275 sq. deg. The sample includes 43223 galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts in the range 0.005<z<0.3 and with 14.5<u<20.5. The S/N in the…

We measure the evolution of the galaxy Luminosity Function as a function of large-scale environment up to z=1.5 from the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) first epoch data. The 3D galaxy density field is reconstructed using a sample of 6582…

The main goal of this study is to investigate the LF of a sample of 142 X-ray selected clusters, with spectroscopic redshift confirmation and a well defined selection function, spanning a wide redshift and mass range, and to test the LF…
