Absolute magnitude and Colour Histograms and Cummulative Distributions

The absolute R magnitude M11 and colour distributions are represented as histograms and as their cummulative fraction. 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 colour is not listed, not a single measurement is available in that colour. Note that the colours 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.
