Luminosity function (astronomy): Measurement, Schechter luminosity function & Main sequence luminosity function

In astronomy, a luminosity function gives the number of stars or galaxies per luminosity interval. Luminosity functions are used to study the properties of large groups or classes of objects, such as the stars in clusters or the galaxies in the Local Group.
