The Luminosity Function of Galaxies in SDSS Commissioning Data
2001
In the course of its commissioning observations, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has produced one of the largest redshift samples of galaxies selected from CCD images. Using 11,275 galaxies complete to r* \ 17.6 over 140 deg2, we compute the luminosity function of galaxies in the r* band over a range (for h \ 1). The result is well-described by a Schechter function with parameters [23 \ M rp \ [16 h3 Mpc~3,
