The observed luminosity function of globular clusters in the core of A1185. The data have been corrected for incompleteness and the expected number of contaminating foreground/background objects have been removed based on the averaged counts at each magnitude from the four control fields. The luminosity function data are shown only to I_F814W ≃ 27.8 mag because beyond that incompletenss corrections become too large (more than a factor of two) to be reliable. The red curve is the best-fitting Gaussian luminosity function with a peak luminosity at I_F814W = 27.3 mag and a standard deviation σ = 1.2, as discussed in the text. The observed luminosity function is clearly consistent with the standard GCLF observed in many galaxies. The inset shows the raw luminosity function of globular cluster candidates without any corrections for background contamination or incompleteness.
