Optical follow-up of the REFLEX survey: a new perspective in cluster studies
L. T. Barone, E. Molinari, H. Boehringer +8
After the completion of the catalogue built with ESO key program (REFLEX), we are beginning to explore the multiband optical characteristics of a subsample of those clusters select…
The Composite Luminosity Function of A496
Emilio Molinari, Guido Chincarini, Alberto Moretti +1
Deep photometric observations in three colours of the cluster A 496 show that the luminosity function is bimodal with a deep gap at g about 19.0. That is there is a net separation…
Luminosity Function of Early-Type Galaxies in Clusters Cores
Emilio Molinari, Riccardo Smareglia
We show the possibility to exploit the non-linear behaviour of artificial neural network (ANN) for the identification of the early-type component of the population of the core of c…
Elliptical Galaxies in Cluster Cores: Luminosity Functions and Selection Procedures
Emilio Molinari
We present here the results about the determination of the Luminosity Function (LF) for elliptical galaxies in the core of fairly rich clusters as a function of redshift and try to…
The Very Red Halo of the cD Galaxy in A3284
E. Molinari, A. Buzzoni, G. Chincarini
We present deep CCD surface photometry in the Gunn g, r, i system and spectroscopy of the cD galaxy at the centre of the cluster A3284 at z = 0.15. The brightness profile of the ga…
