Abstract

We present preliminary results of a search for candidate dwarf galaxies in the NGC 3665 galaxy group. A 0.1 × 0.1 Mpc2 field around the dominant early-type galaxy NGC 3665 was investigated using BRI images from the 2.5m INT WFC archive. A search with the SExtractor yielded 148 dwarf galaxy candidates in the range -12 > MB > -16. The resulting luminosity function for the group can be described by a standard Schechter function.
