Brightest Members of Clusters of Galaxies

Nature, 1970
THE 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 ...

“Radio–active” Brightest Cluster Galaxies

2008
We 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.

Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Dry Mergers

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008
Photometric properties of the early type Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) has been investigated for a sample of 85 BCGs with redshifts less than 0.1 selected from the C4 cluster catalogue. The results are compared to those obtained from a sample of elliptical galaxies chosen with similar apparent magnitude and redshift ranges.

Brightest cluster galaxies as probes of galaxy formation

Brightest 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.
