The Nearby Optical Galaxy Sample: the Local Galaxy Luminosity Function
In this paper we derive the galaxy luminosity function from the Nearby Optical Galaxy (NOG) sample, which is a nearly complete, magnitude–limited (B ≤14 mag), all–sky sample of nearby optical galaxies (∼6400 galaxies with cz < 5500 km s−1 ). For this local sample, we use galaxy distance estimates based on different peculiar velocity models. Therefore, the derivation of the luminosity function i...
متن کاملThe Galaxy Luminosity and Selection Functions of the NOG sample
In order to map the galaxy density field on small scales in the local universe, we use the Nearby Optical Galaxy (NOG) sample, which is currently one of the largest, nearly complete, magnitude–limited (B ≤14 mag), all–sky sample of nearby optical galaxies (∼6400 galaxies with cz <5500 km/s). We have corrected the redshift–dependent distances of these galaxies for non-cosmological motions by mea...
متن کاملKeck Deep Fields. Ii. the Ultraviolet Galaxy Luminosity Function
We use very deepUnGRImultifield imaging obtained at the Keck telescope to study the evolution of the rest-frame 1700 8 galaxy luminosity function as the universe doubles its age from z 4 to 2. We use exactly the same filters and color-color selection as those used by the Steidel team but probe significantly fainter limits, well below L . The depth of our imaging allows us to constrain the faint...
متن کاملBeyond the galaxy luminosity function
With the advent of large scale surveys (i.e., Legacy Surveys) it is now possible to start looking beyond the galaxy luminosity function (LF) to more detailed statistical representations of the galaxy population, i.e., multivariate distributions. In this review I first summarise the current state-of-play of the B-band global and cluster LFs and then briefly present two promising bivariate distri...
متن کاملThe Millennium Galaxy Catalogue : 16 ≤ B MGC < 24 galaxy counts and the calibration of the local galaxy luminosity function
The Millennium Galaxy Catalogue (MGC) is a 37.5 deg, medium-deep, B-band imaging survey along the celestial equator, taken with the Wide Field Camera on the Isaac Newton Telescope. The survey region is contained within the regions of both the Two Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release (SDSS-EDR). The survey has a uniform isophotal detect...
