Galaxy Groups in the Sdss Dr4: Ii. Halo Occupation Statistics

We investigate various galaxy occupation statistics of dark matter halos using a large galaxy group catalogue constructed from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 (SDSS DR4) with an adaptive halo-based group finder. The conditional luminosity function (CLF), which describes the luminosity distribution of galaxies in halos of a given mass, is measured separately for all, red and blue gal...
