Dwarf Galaxies in the Leo I Group: the Group Luminosity Function beyond the Local Group
Abstract
We present first results of a survey of the Leo I group at 10 Mpc for MR < -10 dwarf galaxies. This is part of a larger program to measure the faint end of the galaxy luminosity function in nearby poor groups. Our method is optimized to find Local-Group-like dwarfs down to dwarf spheroidal surface brightnesses, but we also find very large LSB dwarfs in Leo I with no Local Group counterpart. A preliminary measurement of the luminosity function yields a slope consistent with that measured in the Local Group.
