초록

We determine the galaxy luminosity function of cluster galaxies in the nearby galaxy cluster Abell 2199 (A2199), focusing on the faint-end slope down toMr ∼ −14.5. To achieve this, we augment the existing dataset by adding redshift data from our deep MMT/Hectospec survey and from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), significantly improving the spectroscopic completeness down to rpetro,0 = 20.8 within the central 30′ region. The resulting luminosity function is well described by a Schechter function with a characteristic magnitudeM∗ = −21.30±0.27 and a faint-end slope α = −1.23±0.05. This faint-end slope is consistent with those measured in the nearby Coma and Virgo clusters and in a cluster from the TNG50 cosmological simulation, and is slightly shallower than that of field galaxies. These findings indicate that the previously claimed steep faint-end upturn (with α ∼ −2) in nearby galaxy clusters is not supported. Instead, they indicate that environmental processes in dense cluster cores do not seem to trigger the formation or survival of low-mass galaxies, thereby preventing a steep faint-end upturn in the luminosity function.
