M 32-like galaxies: still very rare. M 32 analogues do not exist in the Leo group.

ZIEGLER B.L. and BENDER R.

Abstract (from CDS):

New observations of galaxies in the direction of the Leo group, which were classified as being candidates for M 32-like dwarf galaxies by Ferguson & Sandage (1990AJ....100....1F), show that these galaxies are normal elliptical galaxies at redshifts between z=0.02 and z=0.06. This result adds further evidence that the faint end of the luminosity function of elliptical galaxies falls off very steeply and that objects like M 32 are extremely rare.
