A construction of luminosity function for a sample of 6168 galaxy clusters

subject

description

The problem of constructing the luminosity function in the general case is still unsolved. On the other hand, the latter function plays an important role both in studies of individual properties of astrophysical objects and their distribution. Our idea is to construct the luminosity function for galaxy clusters detected at limiting magnitude m10 > 18.3. Moreover, we would like to compare obtained luminosity function with that calculated for different Bautz–Morgan (BM) type of galaxy clusters. We discuss implication of our results for theory of formation of galaxies and their structures.
