Redshift surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) have given a very precise measurement of the galaxy luminosity function down to about M_R = -17 (~ M_B = -16). Fainter absolute magnitudes cannot be probed because of the flux limit…

Luminosity Functions have been obtained for very faint dwarf galaxies in the cores of four rich clusters of galaxies (Abell 2052, 2107, 2199 and 2666). It is found that the luminosity function of dwarf galaxies rises very steeply in these…

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…
Several statistics are applied to groups and galaxies in groups in the Two degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey. Firstly we estimate the luminosity functions for different subsets of galaxies in groups. The results are well fitted by a…
We present deep two-colour photometry of two rich clusters at z=0.18, A665 and A1689. We use these data to construct number counts as a function of magnitude in the two fields. By combining these counts with similar observations from a…
From a rediscussion of Local Group membership, and of distances to individual galaxies, we obtain $M_V$ values for 35 probable and possible Local Group members. The luminosity function of these objects is well fitted by a Schechter function…
The luminosity function of MS2255.7+2039 at z=0.288 is determined down to a total magnitude of R ~ 24, corresponding to M_R ~ -17 (H_0 = 50 km/s/Mpc). The data are corrected for incompleteness and crowding using detailed simulations. We…
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…
Photometric redshifts are used to determine the rest frame luminosity function (LF) of both early-type and late-type galaxies to M_B ~ -17.6 for the cluster Cl1601+42 at z = 0.54. The total LF shows a steep faint-end slope alpha \~ -1.4,…
We derive composite luminosity functions (LF) for galaxies in groups and examine the behaviour of the LF as a function of group luminosity (used as an indicator of group or halo mass). We consider both the entire galaxy population and split…
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…
