Luminosity function = φ(M) = number of stars per unit volume within the magnitude range M + ½ ↔ M - ½. The table gives also E, the stellar emission of light or radiation in number of zero absolute magnitude stars per unit volume; and Md the total star mass per unit volume in each magnitude range. The visual magnitude ranges have been used for the column E(bol) which expresses the number of Mbol = 0 stars per unit volume. φ(M), E, and Md all become doubtful for M > 17.
