We present the rest-frame Ultra-Violet (UV) galaxy luminosity function (LF) and luminosity density (LD) measurements in the far-UV (150 nm) wavelength, in the redshift range z = 0.6 - 1.2. The UV LF is derived using XMM-Newton Optical…

From R-band images of 39 Hickson compact groups (HCGs), we use galaxy counts to determine a luminosity function extending to M_R=-14.0, approximately two magnitudes deeper than previous compact group luminosity functions. We find that a…

We study H-alpha, far- and near-ultraviolet luminosity functions (LF) of the sample of 795 luminous compact star-forming galaxies with z<0.65. The parameters of optimal functions for LFs are obtained using the maximum likelihood method and…

The cluster and field luminosity functions (LFs) determined on large homogeneous samples (N>2200 galaxies each) are almost indistinguishable, down to M^*+4 in the r and i filters, hence suggesting that the effect of the cluster environment…

We constructed the composite luminosity function (LF) of clusters of galaxies in the five SDSS photometric bands u,g,r,i and z from the RASS-SDSS galaxy cluster catalog. Background and foreground galaxies are subtracted using both a local…

Aims. We use the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey to derive the luminosity function (LF) of the first-ranked (brightest) group/cluster galaxies, the LF of second-ranked, satellite and isolated galaxies, and the LF of groups of galaxies. Methods.…

From deep CCD observations of the cluster Abell 2554 we have recovered the cluster's luminosity distribution over a wide range of magnitude (-24 < M(R) < -16). We compare the derived A2554 cluster luminosity function (at redshift 0.1) with…

We determined the K band luminosity function (LF) of cluster galaxies at redshift z~1.2, using near-infrared images of three X-ray luminous clusters at z=1.11,1.24,1.27. The composite LF was derived down to M*+4, by means of statistical…

We examine the impact of using photometric redshifts for studying the evolution of both the global galaxy luminosity function (LF) and that for different galaxy types. To this end we compare LFs obtained using photometric redshifts from the…

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…

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…

We have measured the 3.6 micron cluster luminosity function (LF) using a sample of 123 galaxy clusters selected from the 4 degree^2 Spitzer First Look Survey (FLS). The clusters were selected on the basis of their R - 3.6 micron colors…

Star clusters in 6 nearby spiral galaxies are examined using archive images from HST/WFPC2. The galaxies have previously been studied from the ground and some of them are known to possess rich populations of "young massive clusters" (YMCs).…

We determine the galaxy luminosity function of cluster galaxies in the nearby galaxy cluster Abell 2199 (A2199), focusing on the faint-end slope down to $M_r \sim -14.5$. To achieve this, we augment the existing dataset by adding redshift…
