Scientific paper

We are investigating the faint end of the stellar luminosity function by identifying red point-sources in the images of a CCD transit survey done at the 5 meter telescope at Palomar. Here we present preliminary results based on photometric data for a portion of the survey. The survey consists of long, narrow images covering 42 square degrees at a range of galactic latitudes in both galactic hemispheres down to R ~ 23. Approximately 50,000 M dwarfs will be examined, and our goal is to produce an accurate measurement of the stellar luminosity function for 8
