We have developed a catalog of local low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) which is selected by objective criteria. We present here a luminosity function (LF) for LSBGs based on that catalog. This LF includes the effects of the completeness corrections to the LSBG catalog, and includes only galaxies with surface brightnesses (22.25 ≤ μB(0) ≤ 24.5) fainter than those included in the CfA Redshift Survey (see Marzke et al. 1994, AJ 108, 437). The best-fitting Schechter function has parameters α = –1.42, M∗B = −18.34, and Φ∗ = 0.0036 h3 Mpc–3 mag–1. Thus, surveys which do not take account of the observational selection bias imposed by surface brightness are missing a substantial fraction of the local galaxies, but, this missed fraction is not large enough to explain the counts of faint blue galaxies observed at moderate redshift.

Galaxy Luminosity Function

AbstractCounts of faint galaxies should reveal any evidence of galaxy luminosity or color evolution, as well as new information on the faint end of the galaxy luminosity function. The FOCAS automated detection and classification software is reviewed, and results of the deep 4m PF photographic survey to 24th magnitude in 23 fields covering 9 sq. degrees are presented. Color-magnitude plots for stars and galaxies are shown, and galaxy color evolution is discussed. Evidence is found for a faint galaxy blue trend at 22-24 J mag. However, the k-correction becomes so severe at redshift ~1 that the intrinsically fainter galaxies are emphasized in any magnitude-limited survey. No unambiguous evidence is found for evolution. New 4m limit CCD multi-color data are shown and discussed. The limiting magnitude for detection is 27th J magnitude in 2 hours integration. The data exclude evolution starting at any one epoch for z<10.
