dc.description.abstractWe present a photometric catalog (based on V and I photometry) of galaxies in the central regions of the Fornax galaxy cluster. Our 11 CCD fields cover 0.17 square degrees in total. The limiting surface brightness is around 24 mag arcsec(-2), similar to that of Ferguson's (1989) catalog, whereas our limiting total magnitude is around V similar or equal to 22 mag, about two magnitudes fainter. It is the surface brightness limit, however. that prevents us from detecting the counterparts of the faintest Local Group dwarf spheroidals. The photometric properties of all objects are presented as a catalog (Appendix A)(1). The properties and fit parameters of the surface brightness profiles for a sub-sample are presented as a second catalog (Appendix B)(1).
dc.description.abstractWe can only add 4 new dwarf galaxies to Ferguson's catalog. However, we confirm that the dwarf galaxies in Fornax follow a similar surface brightness - magnitude relation as the Local Group dwarfs. They also follow the color (metallicity) - magnitude relation seen in other galaxy clusters. A formerly suspected excess of dwarf galaxies surrounding the central giant cD galaxy NGC 1399 can finally be ruled out.
dc.description.abstractAn enhanced density of objects around NGC 1399 can indeed be seen, but it appears displaced With respect to the central galaxy and is identified as a background cluster at z = 0.11 in Paper II of these series, which will discuss spectroscopic results for our sample.
