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

Radial gradients in initial mass function sensitive absorption features in the Coma brightest cluster galaxies [PDF]
Using the Oxford ShortWavelength Integral Field specTrograph, we trace radial variations of initial mass function (IMF)-sensitive absorption features of three galaxies in the Coma cluster.

Comparing Globular Cluster System Properties with Host Galaxy Environment
We present Hubble Space Telescope photometry in the optical (F475X) and near-infrared (F110W) bands of the globular cluster (GC) systems of the inner halos of a sample of 15 massive elliptical galaxies.

The Principal Axis of the Virgo Cluster [PDF]
Using accurate distances to individual Virgo cluster galaxies obtained by the method of Surface Brightness Fluctuations, we show that Virgo's brightest ellipticals have a remarkably collinear arrangement in three dimensions.

STAR FORMATION IN INTERMEDIATE REDSHIFT 0.2 < z < 0.7 BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXIES [PDF]
We present a multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic study of 42 Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) in two samples of galaxy clusters chosen for a gravitational lensing study. The study’s initial sample combines 25 BCGs from the Cluster Lensing and

Exploring the progenitors of brightest cluster galaxies at z ∼ 2 [PDF]
We present a new method for tracing the evolution of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) from z ∼ 2 to z ∼ 0. We conclude on the basis of semi-analytical models that the best method to select BCG progenitors at z ∼ 2 is a hybrid environmental density and ...

Coevolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Their Host Clusters in IllustrisTNG
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 ...

Internal dynamics of the galaxy cluster Abell 545
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.
