Scientific paper

The galaxy luminosity function in the Virgo cluster has been recently found to show a clear separation between bright galaxies and dwarf galaxies. The authors investigate the effect on the luminosity function of galaxy binding energy which allows gas to be retained and star formation to proceed over ≡109yr in massive galaxies, but implies wind-driven mass-loss and inefficient star formation in dwarf galaxies.
