The presence of the Wielen dip in the disk stellar luminosity function
Abstract
The disk stellar luminosity function has been redetermined by the mean absolute magnitude method, utilizing the proper motion data of the LHS Catalog. The derived luminosity function shows a slightly deeper dip than that found by Wielen (1983) in the same magnitude range.
