The Luminosity Profiles of Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2011
(Abridged) We have derived detailed R band luminosity profiles and structural parameters for a total of 430 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), down to a limiting surface brightness of 24.5 mag/arcsec^2.

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 ...

Ionized nebulae surrounding brightest cluster galaxies [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2007
We present IFU observations of six emission-line nebulae that surround the central galaxy of cool core clusters. Qualitatively similar nebulae are observed in cool core clusters even when the dynamics and possibly formation and excitation source are ...

Intrinsic Shapes of Brightest Cluster Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Abstract We discuss the statistical distribution of galaxy shapes and viewing angles under the assumption of triaxiality by deprojecting observed surface brightness profiles of 56 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) coming from a recently published large deep-photometry sample.

Atmospheric Pressure and Molecular Cloud Formation in Early-type Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A strong correlation between atmospheric pressure and molecular gas mass is found in central cluster galaxies and early-type galaxies. This trend and a similar trend with atmospheric gas density would naturally arise if the molecular clouds condensed ...

Are Brightest Cluster Galaxies Special?

Research Notes of the AAS, 2023
Abstract A longstanding question when studying Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and their evolution is whether their luminosities are statistical extremes of the luminosity distribution of other cluster member galaxies, or whether their luminosities follow a different,“special” distribution.

A Photometric Survey of Globular Cluster Systems in Brightest Cluster Galaxies

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
