Photographic F band photometry of a sample of 36 Abell clusters has been used to study the relation between the magnitude $M_1$ of the brightest cluster member and the Schechter function parameter $M^*$. Clusters appear segregated in the…
We present the results from a survey of 57 low-redshift Abell galaxy clusters to study the radial dependence of the luminosity function (LF). The dynamical radius of each cluster, r200, was estimated from the photometric measurement of…

We investigated the optical properties of 7 clusters of galaxies observed in three colors over the range of absolute magnitudes -24 < M < -12. Our aim is to estimate the Luminosity Function and the total cluster luminosity of our sample in…
We have determined the composite luminosity function (LF) for galaxies in 60 clusters from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The LF spans the range $-22.5<M_{b_{\rm J}}<-15$, and is well-fitted by a Schechter function with ${M_{b_{\rm…
We derive NUV luminosity functions for 6471 NUV detected galaxies in 28 $0.02 < z < 0.08$ clusters and consider their dependence on cluster properties. We consider optically red and blue galaxies and explore how their NUV LFs vary in…

We analyze systematic effects in the determination of the galaxy luminosity function in clusters using a deep mock catalogue constructed from a numerical simulation of a hierarchical universe. The results indicate a strong tendency to…
Luminosity function of cluster galaxies provides a fundamental constraint on galaxy evolution in cluster environments. By using the bright member galaxies of a large sample of rich clusters identified from Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we…
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…
Luminosity functions have been determined for star cluster populations in 20 nearby (4-30 Mpc), star-forming galaxies based on ACS source lists generated by the Hubble Legacy Archive. Comparisons are made with other recently generated…
We have observed 433 z<=0.08 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in a full-sky survey of Abell clusters. The BCG Hubble diagram is consistent to within 2% of a Omega_m=0.3, Lambda=0.7 Hubble relation. The L_m-alpha relation for BCGs, which…
We derive deep $I$ band luminosity functions and colour-magnitude diagrams from HST imaging for eleven $0.2<z<0.6$ clusters observed at various stages of merging, and a comparison sample of five more relaxed clusters at similar redshifts.…

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…
The colour and luminosity distributions of red galaxies in the cluster Abell 1185 (z=0.0325) were studied down to M*+8 in the B, V and R bands. The colour-magnitude (hereafter CM) relation is linear without evidence for a significant…
