Scientific paper

A determination of the luminosity and mass functions is given for field stars at the bottom of the main sequence as the first results from a 320 sq deg survey based on both optical and near-infrared photometry. The luminosity and mass functions are determined with an order of magnitude higher precision than previous studies achieve. No evidence is found for a mass function steepening toward the H-burning limit.
