Brightest Cluster Galaxy Alignments in Merging Clusters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 The orientations of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and their host clusters tend to be aligned, but the mechanism driving this is not clear. To probe the role of cluster mergers in this process, we quantify alignments of 38 BCGs in 22 clusters ...

A detection of wobbling brightest cluster galaxies within massive galaxy clusters [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 A striking signal of dark matter beyond the standard model is the existence of cores in the centre of galaxy clusters. Recent simulations predict that a brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) inside a cored galaxy cluster will exhibit residual wobbling due to ...

Properties of the Brightest Cluster Galaxy and Its Host Cluster [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 We investigate the relation between the properties of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and those of their host clusters. To quantify the properties of cluster hot gas, we employ the parameter Z of the fundamental plane of X-ray clusters.

A 13CO Detection in a Brightest Cluster Galaxy [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 We present ALMA Cycle 4 observations of CO(1-0), CO(3-2), and 13CO(3-2) line emission in the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of RXJ0821+0752. This is one of the first detections of 13CO line emission in a galaxy cluster.

Evolution of brightest cluster galaxies in X ray clusters [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 A recent paper (Burke, Collins & Mann 2000) presents the analysis of the K-band Hubble diagram of 76 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in X-ray clusters and shows that the properties of BCGs depend on the X-ray luminosity (Lx) of their host clusters.

MAJOR CLUSTER MERGERS AND THE LOCATION OF THE BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 Using a large N-body cosmological simulation combined with a subgrid treatment of galaxy formation, merging, and tidal destruction, we study the formation and evolution of the galaxy and cluster population in a comoving volume (100 Mpc)3 in a ΛCDM ...

Brightest Cluster Galaxy Profile Shapes [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1996 We model the surface brightness profiles of a sample of 119 Abell Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCG), finding a generalised deVaucouleurs R^{1/n} law, where n is a free parameter, to be appropriate.

The brightest UV-selected galaxies in protoclusters at $z\sim4$: Ancestors of Brightest Cluster Galaxies? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 We present the results of a survey of the brightest UV-selected galaxies in protoclusters. These proto-brightest cluster galaxy (proto-BCG) candidates are drawn from 179 overdense regions of $g$-dropout galaxies at $z\sim4$ from the Hyper Suprime-Cam ...
