Elliptical Galaxies in Cluster Cores: Luminosity Functions and Selection Procedures

Abstract

We present here the results about the determination of the Luminosity Function (LF) for elliptical galaxies in the core of fairly rich clusters as a function of redshift and try to compare with the known LF of close, better studied clusters of galaxies. We then outline the first use of a new method of selecting member elliptical galaxies using an unsupervised Artificial Neural Network (ANN) working on a purely photometric set of data.
