The \(K_s\)-band luminosity function of the rich cluster VC04 in the Vela supercluster

To learn more about the properties of the Vela Supercluster (VSCL) located behind the Milky Way at \(cz\sim 18000\)~km~s\(^{-1}\), we determined the \(K_s\)-band Luminosity Function (LF) of VC04, the richest known galaxy cluster in the VSCL, and two other VSCL clusters (VC02 and VC08). The galaxy sa...

Description
Summary:To learn more about the properties of the Vela Supercluster (VSCL) located behind the Milky Way at \(cz\sim 18000\)~km~s\(^{-1}\), we determined the \(K_s\)-band Luminosity Function (LF) of VC04, the richest known galaxy cluster in the VSCL, and two other VSCL clusters (VC02 and VC08). The galaxy sample is based on NIR observations which are complete to an extinction-corrected absolute magnitude of \(M_{Ks}^o
