By means of wide-field (42x28 arcmin) CCD images of the Coma cluster of galaxies and of control fields, taken at the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope with the CFH12K and UH8K cameras, we determine the luminosity function bi-variate in central…
A large spectroscopic survey is constructed of galaxies in the Coma cluster. The survey covers a wide area (1 deg$^2$) to deep magnitudes (R ~ 19.5), covering both the core (high density) and outskirts (intermediate to low density) of the…
[Abridged] The Coma cluster luminosity function (LF) from ultraviolet (2000 AA) to the near-infrared (H band) is summarized. In the UV the LF is very steep, much steeper than in the optical. The steep Coma UV LF implies that faint and…
We determine the luminosity function (LF) of galaxies in the core of the Coma cluster for M_R<=-11.4 (assuming H_0=75 km/s/Mpc), a magnitude regime previously explored only in the Local Group. Objects are counted in a deep CCD image of Coma…
We present the luminosity function (LF) and measurements of the scalelengths, colours, and radial distribution of dwarf galaxies in the Coma cluster down to R=24. Our survey area is 674 arcmin^2; this is the deepest and most detailed survey…
Clusters of galaxies are believed to be at the intersections of cosmological filaments and to grow by accreting matter from these filaments. Such continuous infall has major consequences not only on clusters but also on the physics of…
We present the near-infrared H band luminosity function (hereafter LF) of the Coma cluster of galaxies. It is the deepest ever computed in the near-infrared, for any type of environment, extending over 7 magnitudes, down to ~M_H*+6. The LF…
This study follows a recent analysis of the galaxy luminosity functions and colour-magnitude red sequences in the Coma cluster (Adami et al. 2007). We analyze here the distribution of very faint galaxies and globular clusters in an…
We present optical measurements of the faint end of the luminosity function in the core of the Coma cluster. Dwarf galaxies are detected down to a limiting magnitude of R approx. 25.75 in images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. This…
An infrared survey of the central 650 arcmin$^2$ of the Coma cluster is used to determine the $H$ band luminosity function for the cluster. Redshifts are available for all galaxies in the survey with $H < 14.5$, and for this sample we…
Our previous study of the faint end (R$\leq$21.5) of the galaxy luminosity function (GLF) was based on spectroscopic data in a small region near the Coma cluster center. In this previous study Adami et al. (1998) suggested, with moderate…
We report on a search for faint (R total magnitude fainter than 21) and low surface brightness galaxies (R central surface brightness fainter than ~24) (fLSBs) in a 0.72x0.82 deg2 area centered on the Coma cluster. We analyzed deep B and R…
We have used deep GALEX observations at the infall region of the Coma cluster to measure the faintest UV luminosity functions (LFs) presented for a rich galaxy cluster thus far. The Coma UV LFs are measured to M_UV = -10.5 in the GALEX FUV…
We investigate the Coma cluster galaxy luminosity function (GLF) at faint magnitudes, in particular in the u* band by applying photometric redshift techniques applied to deep u*, B, V, R, I images covering a region of ~1deg2 (R 24). Global…
We have obtained deep and wide field imaging of the Coma cluster of galaxies with the CFH12K camera at CFHT in the B, V, R and I filters. In this paper, we present the observations, data reduction, catalogs and first scientific results. We…
We derived the luminosity function (LF) of dwarf galaxies in the Coma Cluster down to M_R=-10 at three fields located at the center, intermediate, and outskirt. The LF (-19<M_R<-10) shows no significant differences among the three fields.…
This project is the continuation of our study of faint Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (fLSBs) in one of the densest nearby galaxy regions known, the Coma cluster. Our goal is to improve our understanding of the nature of these objects by…
Due to observational constraints, dark matter determinations in nearby clusters based on weak lensing are still extremely rare, in spite of their importance for the determination of cluster properties independent of other methods. We…
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…
