| Abstract | We measure the galaxy luminosity function (LF) for the Virgo Cluster between blue magnitudes MB=-22 and -11 from wide-field charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging data. The LF is only gradually rising for -22B<-16. Between MB=-16 and -14 it rises steeply, with a logarithmic slope of α~-1.6. Fainter than MB=-14, the LF flattens again. This LF is shallower (although turning u ... |
