A flat faint end of the Fornax cluster galaxy luminosity function (2007)

Abstract
We analyse the photometric properties of the early-type Fornax cluster dwarf galaxy population (M_V>-17 mag), based on a wide field imaging study of the central cluster area in V and I band-passes with IMACS/Magellan at Las Campanas Observatory. We create a fiducial sample of ~100 Fornax cluster dwarf ellipticals (dEs) with -16.6. Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, to appear in the proceedings of IAU Symposium 244 'Dark galaxies and lost baryons', Cambridge University Press, editors J. I. Davies & M. D. Disney
