Environmental Effects on the Faint End of the Luminosity Function
S. Phillipps, J. B. Jones, R. M. Smith +2
Recent studies have demonstrated that many galaxy clusters have luminosity functions (LFs) which are steep at the faint end. However, it is equally clear that not all clusters have…
The Fornax Spectroscopic Survey: The Number of Unresolved Compact Galaxies
M. J. Drinkwater, S. Phillipps, M. D. Gregg +5
We describe a sample of thirteen bright (18.5<Bj<20.1) compact galaxies at low redshift (0.05<z<0.21) behind the Fornax Cluster. These galaxies are unresolved on UK Schmidt sky sur…
Luminosity Distributions within Rich Clusters - II: Demonstration and Verification via Simulation
Simon P. Driver, Warrick J. Couch, Steven Phillipps +1
We present detailed simulations of long exposure CCD images. The simulations are used to explore the validity of the statistical method for reconstructing the luminosity distributi…
The Luminosity Distribution in Galaxy Clusters: A Dwarf Population - Density Relation?
S. Phillipps, S. P. Driver, W. J. Couch +1
Recent work suggests that rich clusters of galaxies commonly have large populations of dwarf (i.e. low luminosity) members, that is their luminosity function (LF) turns up to a ste…
