Week of 7/8 - 7/12, 2013

On my plot for all cluster members in the EDisCS survey, I separated galaxies into "low" redshift z∼0.4-0.6 and "high" redshift z∼0.6-0.8. I say "high" and "low" because in reality, these galaxies are really far away. The "low" redshift galaxies are just a bit closer. Here is my improved graph on EDisCS cluster members:

In addition, I sub-plotted each EDisCS cluster by number of galaxies vs. log10 infrared luminosity. This is the breakdown:

Next week I plan to "fix up" these plots to make them look better as well as create a fits file for infrared luminosity, raw counts, corrected counts, and the error for both counts. I will send this data to Alissa Earle who will fit the luminosity function.
