Fundamental parameters of brightest cluster galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal, 1991
Photometry and spectroscopy of a sample of the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are presented, and the relationships between scale length, surface brightness, velocity dispersion, and line strength are determined and compared with the relations determined for lower luminosity ellipticals (LLEs).

The Relationships between Active Galactic Nucleus Power and Molecular Gas Mass within 500 pc of the Center of Elliptical Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
The physical quantity that directly controls the feedback of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in elliptical galaxies remains to be determined. The discovery of molecular gas around the AGNs suggests that the gas is fueling the AGNs.

Detection of a Star Forming Galaxy in the Center of a Low-Mass Galaxy Cluster

, 2018
Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) residing in the centers of galaxy clusters are typically quenched giant ellipticals. A recent study hinted that star-forming galaxies with large disks, so-called superluminous spirals and lenticulars, are the BCGs of a ...

A New Test of the Statistical Nature of the Brightest Cluster Galaxies

, 2010
A novel statistic is proposed to examine the hypothesis that all cluster galaxies are drawn from the same luminosity distribution (LD). In such a "statistical model" of galaxy LD, the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are simply the statistical extreme ...
