This week was cut sort by Independence Day, but I still accomplished a lot. On Monday, my summer research did a ninety degree turn. I switched from analyzing data from the WISE Survey to picking up Brendan Gallagher's project. My new task is to look at the EDisCS Clusters (redshift 0.4-0.8) and follow mostly the same instructions as I did for WISE. In other words, I have to fit the luminosity functions for galaxies in the field of EDisCS and in the clusters of EDisCS.
In doing this I have to look at the EDisCS catalog filled with photometric and spectroscopic information regarding the galaxies. There are flags built into the catalog which help me separate/choose the galaxies specific to each luminosity distribution.
