We examine the galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) in the Hydra I cluster (Abell 1060) at z = 0.0126, for which very faint galaxies (down to M ~ −10) have not been surveyed yet. We conclude that the total LF has a slightly steep slope (α ~ −1.6) at −20 < M < −10 in the B- and RC-bands. The numbers of galaxies at the faint end (M ≳ −14) differ in between the cluster center and the outskirts slightly. We divide the Hydra member galaxies into red/blue galaxies and find that the shape of LFs in the faint magnitude range is determined by red dwarf galaxies.
