AMICO galaxy clusters in KiDS-DR3: evolution of the luminosity function between z=0.1 and z=0.8

By means of the band luminosity function (LF) of galaxies in a sample of about 4000 clusters detected by the cluster finder AMICO in the KiDS-DR3 area of about 400 deg, we studied the evolution with richness and redshift of the passive evolving (red), star-forming (blue), and total galaxy population...

Zusammenfassung:By means of the band luminosity function (LF) of galaxies in a sample of about 4000 clusters detected by the cluster finder AMICO in the KiDS-DR3 area of about 400 deg, we studied the evolution with richness and redshift of the passive evolving (red), star-forming (blue), and total galaxy populations. This analysis was performed for clusters in the redshift range [0.1, 0.8] and in the mass range [10<sup>13<sup/> <i>M<i/><sub>⊙<sub/>, 10<sup>15<sup/> <i>M<i/><sub>⊙<sub/>].<i>Methods.<i/> To compute LFs, we binned the luminosity distribution in magnitude and statistically subtracted the background. Then, we divided the cluster sample in bins of both redshift and richness/mass. We stacked LF counts in each 2D bin for the total, red, and blue galaxy populations; finally, we fitted the stacked LF with a Schechter function and studied the trend of its parameters with redshift and richness/mass.<i>Results.<i/> We found a passive evolution with <i>z<i/> for the bright part of the LF for the red and total populations and no significant trends for the faint galaxies. The mass/richness dependence is clear for the density parameter Φ<sub>⋆<sub/>, increasing with richness, and for the total population faint end, which is shallower in the rich clusters.
