A New Deep Wide Multicolor Field of the Coma Cluster Core
Abstract
We present a new deep wide angle (40'X 1deg) multicolor U, B, V, R and I survey of the Coma cluster core. It is one of the deepest multicolor survey and one of the largest CCD field available to date for the Coma cluster. Although this cluster is probably the most studied rich cluster, open questions, as the slope of the faint end of the luminosity function, subsist. Our purpose is to use this new deep and large sample to determine the most realistic luminosity function, constrain the very faint population behavior and study environmental effects in this cluster.
