For a Tychonoff space X, let ↓C F (X) denote the collection of the hypographs of all continuous maps from X to [0, 1] with the Fell topology. We show that for a Tychonoff k-space X, ↓C F (X) is homeomorphic to c 0 if and only if ↓C F (X) is metrizable and not Baire if and only if X is a weakly locally compact and hemicompact ℵ 0 -space without dense set of isolated points, where Q = [−1, 1] ω is the Hilbert cube, Σ = {(x n ) ∈ Q : sup |x n | < 1} and c 0 = {(x n ) ∈ Σ : lim x n = 0} are the subspaces of it.
