Brightest Members of Clusters of Galaxies
Nature, 1970THE work of Humason, Mayall and Sandage1 and the more recent work of Sandage2–5 and Peterson6 show that the dispersion in the absolute magnitude of the first brightest galaxies in rich clusters of galaxies is only 0.3 magnitude. Peebles7 suggested that this small dispersion is simply the consequence of the cluster luminosity function and compared the ...

The luminosity–halo mass relation for brightest cluster galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2008 Abstract We examine the central galaxy luminosity–host halo mass relation for 54 brightest group galaxies (BGGs) and 92 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) at z < 0.1 and present the first measurement of this relation for a sample of known BCGs at .

Brightest Members of Clusters of Galaxies
Nature, 1969THERE are two opposing interpretations of the small dispersion σ1∼0.35 mag in the absolute magnitudes M1 of the brightest members of rich clusters of galaxies measured by Sandage1. In one view, advanced, among others, by Peebles2,3, it is assumed that there is a universal cluster luminosity function, and that the value of σ1 and of the variation of M1 ...

Brightest cluster galaxies as probes of galaxy formation
2016Brightest group and cluster galaxies are the most massive galaxies in the Universe and reside at the centres of galaxy clusters. These galaxies push galaxy formation and evolution models to their limits, providing a strong test to our current paradigm of galaxy formation.

“Radio–active” Brightest Cluster Galaxies
2008We present a sample of clusters drawn from the C4 cluster catalog of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, where particular emphasis has been placed on the correct identification of the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) and the determination of the velocity dispersion within the virial radius.
