We have developed a catalog of local low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) which is selected by objective criteria. We present here a luminosity function (LF) for LSBGs based on that catalog. This LF includes the effects of the completeness corrections to the LSBG catalog, and includes only galaxies with surface brightnesses (22.25 ≤ μB(0) ≤ 24.5) fainter than those included in the CfA Redshift Survey (see Marzke et al. 1994, AJ 108, 437). The best-fitting Schechter function has parameters α = –1.42, M∗B = −18.34, and Φ∗ = 0.0036 h3 Mpc–3 mag–1. Thus, surveys which do not take account of the observational selection bias imposed by surface brightness are missing a substantial fraction of the local galaxies, but, this missed fraction is not large enough to explain the counts of faint blue galaxies observed at moderate redshift.

We studied the statistical methods for the estimation of the luminosity function (LF) of galaxies by Monte Carlo simulations. After examining the performance of these methods, we analyzed the photometric redshift data of the Hubble Deep Field prepared by Fernández-Soto et al. (1999). We also derived luminosity density ρL at B- and I-band. Our B-band estimation is roughly consistent with that of Sawicki, Lin, & Yee (1997), but a few times lower at 2.0 < z < 3.0. The evolution of ρL(I) is found to be less prominent.
