The cluster galaxy luminosity function at z=0.3: a recent origin for the faint-end upturn?

We derive deep luminosity functions (LFs) (to M-z = -15) for galaxies in Abell 1835 (z 0.25) and AC 114 (z = 0.3 1), and compare these with the local z' LF for 69 clusters. The data show that the faint-end upturn, the excess of galaxies above a single Schechter function at M-z < - 17, does not exist in the higher redshift clusters. This suggests that the faint-end upturn galaxies have been created recently, by infall into clusters of star-forming field populations or via tidal disruption of brighter objects.
