The brightest UV-selected galaxies in protoclusters at $z\sim4$: Ancestors of Brightest Cluster Galaxies? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 We present the results of a survey of the brightest UV-selected galaxies in protoclusters. These proto-brightest cluster galaxy (proto-BCG) candidates are drawn from 179 overdense regions of $g$-dropout galaxies at $z\sim4$ from the Hyper Suprime-Cam ...

The Origin of the Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1998 Most clusters and groups of galaxies contain a giant elliptical galaxy in their centres which far outshines and outweighs normal ellipticals. The origin of these brightest cluster galaxies is intimately related to the collapse and formation of the ...

Constraints on the Size Evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 We measure the luminosity profiles of 16 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) at $0.4 < z < 0.8$ using high resolution F160W NICMOS and F814W WFPC2 HST imaging. The heterogeneous sample is drawn from a variety of surveys: seven from clusters in the Einstein

A Photometric Survey of Globular Cluster Systems in Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Hubble Space Telescope imaging for 26 giant early-type galaxies, all drawn from the MAST archive, is used to carry out photometry of their surrounding globular cluster (GC) systems. Most of these targets are Brightest Cluster Galaxies and their distances

Shapes and alignments of dark matter haloes and their brightest cluster galaxies in 39 strong lensing clusters [PDF]
, 2020 We study shapes and alignments of 45 dark matter (DM) haloes and their brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) using a sample of 39 massive clusters from Hubble Frontier Field (HFF), Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH), and Reionization ...

A multiwavelength photometric census of AGN and star formation activity in the brightest cluster galaxies of X-ray selected clusters [PDF]
, 2016 Despite their reputation as being 'red and dead', the unique environment inhabited by brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) can often lead to a self-regulated feedback cycle between radiatively cooling intracluster gas and star formation and active galactic ...

Diversity in the stellar velocity dispersion profiles of a large sample of brightest cluster galaxies z ≤ 0.3 [PDF]
, 2018 We analyse spatially-resolved deep optical spectroscopy of Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) located in 32 massive clusters with redshifts of 0.05 $\leq z \leq$ 0.30, to investigate their velocity dispersion profiles.

DETECTING STAR FORMATION IN BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXIES WITHGALEX [PDF]
, 2010 We present the results of GALEX observations of 17 cool core (CC) clusters of galaxies. We show that GALEX is easily capable of detecting star formation in brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) out to $z\ge 0.45$ and 50-100 kpc.

The HectoMAP Cluster Survey: Spectroscopically Identified Clusters and their Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 We apply a friends-of-friends (FoF) algorithm to identify galaxy clusters and we use the catalog to explore the evolutionary synergy between brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and their host clusters.
