Absolute magnitude and Color Histograms and Cummulative Distributions

The absolute magnitude M11 and color distributions are represented as histograms and as their cummulative function (i.e., for a given color, the fraction of the population that has a smaller color index). Grt is the spectral slope.

All the plots for which at least one object is present are available in GIF and in Encapsulated PostScript. If a given color is not listed, not a single measurement is available in that color. Note that the colors are sorted alphabetically after the M11 (absolute magnitude) and GRT (spectral slope) plots. Note that the y-scale of the M11 cumulative distribution is logarithmic, so to display powerlaws as lines.
