A Unique Mass Function from Galaxies to Clusters ?

We present an observational mass function ranging from galaxies to massive galaxy clusters, derived from direct dynamical mass estimates. Our mass function shows, in the low-mass range of galaxies and groups, a behaviour in agreement with that of standard CDM (n=-2), while in the high-mass range (clusters) our mass function is shallower (and thus contains more power) than standard CDM; it also results shallower than the recent mass function by Bahcall & Cen (1993, ApJ 407, L49).
