The evolution in the stellar mass of brightest cluster galaxies over the past 10 billion years [PDF]

, 2016
Using a sample of 98 galaxy clusters recently imaged in the near infra-red with the ESO NTT, WIYN and WHT telescopes, supplemented with 33 clusters from the ESO archive, we measure how the stellar mass of the most massive galaxies in the universe, namely

The Look-back Time Evolution of Far-Ultraviolet Flux from the Brightest Cluster Elliptical Galaxies at z < 0.2 [PDF]

, 2007
We present the GALEX UV photometry of the elliptical galaxies in Abell clusters at moderate redshifts (z < 0.2) for the study of the look-back time evolution of the UV upturn phenomenon. The brightest elliptical galaxies (M_r < -22) in 12 remote clusters

Radio luminosity function of brightest cluster galaxies [PDF]

, 2016
By cross-matching the currently largest optical catalog of galaxy clusters and the NVSS radio survey database, we obtain the largest complete sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in the redshift range of 0 ...

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.

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-

MORPHOLOGICAL TYPES OF 254 RICH PF GALAXY CLUSTERS

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2014
We determined the morphological types for 254 rich galaxy clusters from the PF Catalogue of Galaxy Clusters and Groups. The data set contains the PF galaxy clusters, which have no ACO coinciding ones.

Detailed Shapes of the Line-of-sight Velocity Distributions in Massive Early-type Galaxies from Nonparametric Spectral Models

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the first systematic study of the detailed shapes of the line-of-sight velocity distributions (LOSVDs) in nine massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) using the novel nonparametric modeling code WINGFIT.

About the linearity of the color-magnitude relation of early-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster [PDF]

, 2013
We revisit the color-magnitude relation (CMR) of the Virgo cluster early-type galaxies in order to explore its alleged non-linearity. To this aim, we reanalyze the relation already published from data obtained within the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey of the ...

On the Origin and Evolution of the Intra-Cluster Light: A Brief Review of the Most Recent Developments

Galaxies, 2021
Not all the light in galaxy groups and clusters comes from stars that are bound to galaxies. A significant fraction of it constitutes the so-called intracluster or diffuse light (ICL), a low surface brightness component of groups/clusters generally found

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.
