The K-band luminosity functions of galaxies in high-redshift clusters
Abstract
K band luminosity functions (LFs) of three, massive, high redshift clusters of galaxies are presented. The evolution of K*, the characteristic magnitude of the LF, is consistent with purely passive evolution, and a redshift of formation zf ≈ 1.5-2.
