An Infrared Survey of Brightest Cluster Galaxies. II. Why are Some Brightest Cluster Galaxies Forming Stars? [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2008
Quillen et al.(2007) presented an imaging survey with the {\it Spitzer Space Telescope} of 62 brightest cluster galaxies with optical line emission located in the cores of X-ray luminous clusters. They found that at least half of these sources have signs of excess infrared emission. Here we discuss the nature of the IR emission and its implications for

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 Outer Halos of Very Massive Galaxies: BCGs and their DSC in the Magneticum Simulations

Galaxies, 2017
Recent hydrodynamic cosmological simulations cover volumes up to Gpc 3 and resolve halos across a wide range of masses and environments, from massive galaxy clusters down to normal galaxies, while following a large variety of physical processes ...

Anxious Projections: Mass Hysteria and the Problem of Interpretation

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Stories of “mass hysteria” among teenage girls have often graced the headlines of Nepal's local and national newspapers, creating a public spectacle of a strange and mysterious form of affliction. Treatments include both shamanic rituals and psychosocial interventions, a new therapeutic modality that has gained prominence over the past two ...

Blowing cold flows away: the impact of early AGN activity on the formation of a brightest cluster galaxy progenitor [PDF]

, 2012
Supermassive black holes (BH) are powerful sources of energy that are already in place at very early epochs of the Universe (by z=6). Using hydrodynamical simulations of the formation of a massive M_vir=5 10^11 M_sun halo by z=6 (the most massive ...

COSMIC: A Galaxy Cluster–Finding Algorithm Using Machine Learning

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Building a comprehensive catalog of galaxy clusters is a fundamental task for studies on structure formation and galaxy evolution. In this paper, we present Cluster Optical Search using Machine Intelligence in Catalogs (COSMIC), an algorithm utilizing ...

A Chromosome Inversion Creates a Supergene for Sex and Colour in Lake Malawi Cichlids

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cichlid fishes have the highest rates of evolutionary turnover of sex chromosomes among vertebrates. Many large structural polymorphisms in the radiation of cichlids in Lake Malawi are associated with sex chromosomes and may also carry adaptive variation.

GLOBULAR CLUSTERS AND SPUR CLUSTERS IN NGC 4921, THE BRIGHTEST SPIRAL GALAXY IN THE COMA CLUSTER [PDF]

, 2016
We resolve a significant fraction of globular clusters (GCs) in NGC 4921, the brightest spiral galaxy in the Coma cluster. We also find a number of extended bright star clusters (star complexes) in the spur region of the arms.
