The shapes of brightest cluster galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal, 1993
The mean isophotal axis ratios are computed for a complete sample of 119 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in Abell clusters. The cumulative distribution function F(q) of axis ratios for the BCGs differs from F(q) for a sample of ordinary elliptical galaxies at only the P=0.14 probability level, as measured by a Kolmogorov Smirnov test.

Internal dynamics of the galaxy cluster Abell 545

, 2011
Diffuse radio emission in galaxy clusters, and their connection with cluster mergers, are still debated. We seek to explore the internal dynamics of the radio halo cluster Abell 545.

Multi-spin stellar velocity maps of the most massive galaxies

Astronomy & Astrophysics
We present stellar kinematics of the MUSE Most Massive Galaxies (M3G) Survey, comprising 25 galaxies brighter than −25.7 mag in the Ks band and stellar masses above ≈6 × 1011 M⊙.

Chandra Observations of A2670 and A2107: A Comet Galaxy and cDs with Large Peculiar Velocities

, 2005
We present an analysis of Chandra observations of the galaxy clusters A2670 and A2107. Their cD galaxies have large peculiar velocities (>200km/s) and thus the clusters appear to be undergoing mergers.

The central elliptical galaxy in fossil groups and formation of BCGs [PDF]

, 2006
We study the dominant central giant elliptical galaxies in ``Fossil groups'' using deep optical (R-band) and near infrared (Ks-band) photometry. These galaxies are as luminous as the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), raising immediate interest in their ...

The Initial Mass Function and Other Stellar Properties Across the Core of the Hydra I Cluster

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Hydra I cluster offers an excellent opportunity to study and compare the relic old stellar populations in the core of its two brightest galaxies. In addition, the differing kinematics of the two galaxies allows a test of the local validity of general

The Dependence of Globular Cluster Number on Density for Abell Cluster Central Galaxies [PDF]

, 1997
A study of the globular cluster systems of 23 brightest, or central, galaxies in 19 Abell clusters has recently been completed. This Letter presents some of the newly discovered correlations of the globular cluster specific frequency $S_N$ in these ...

THE EVOLUTION OF BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXIES IN A HIERARCHICAL UNIVERSE [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2012
We investigate the evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) from redshift z~1.6 to z~0. We use the semi-analytic model of Croton et al. (2006) with a new spectro-photometric model based on the Maraston (2005) stellar populations and a new recipe for the dust extinction. We compare the model predictions of the K-band luminosity evolution and the J-

Coevolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Their Host Clusters in IllustrisTNG

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Abstract We use IllustrisTNG simulations to explore the dynamic scaling relation between massive clusters and their—central—brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). The IllustrisTNG-300 simulation we use includes 280 massive clusters from the z = 0 snapshot with M 200 > 1014 M ...

Liquid Metal Nanotransformers for Drug‐Resistant Pan‐Cancer Therapy in Patient‐Derived Organoids

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pan‐cancer therapies are severely limited in drug‐resistance patients due to genetic mutations and other factors, resulting in poor therapeutic outcomes and constrained clinical benefit. Liquid metal nanotransformers, a new class of shape‐transformable nanomaterials capable of dramatic morphological changes, offer a promising physical strategy to ...
