The transformation of Spirals into S0 galaxies in the cluster environment
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2015 We discuss the observational evidences of the morphological transformation of Spirals into S0 galaxies in the cluster environment exploiting two big databases of galaxy clusters: WINGS (0 ...

Using Neural Networks to Automate the Identification of Brightest Cluster Galaxies in Large Surveys
The Astrophysical JournalBrightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) lie deep within the largest gravitationally bound structures in existence. Though some cluster finding techniques identify the position of the BCG and use it as the cluster center, other techniques may not automatically ...

A Multiwavelength Approach to Constraining the Merger Properties of ACT-CL J0034.4+0225
The Astrophysical JournalACT-CL J0034.4+0225 is a previously unrecognized merging galaxy cluster at z = 0.38588 ± 0.00068. Our primary evidence is provided by a 21 ks Chandra image that shows two surface brightness peaks separated by ∼49″ (259 kpc) surrounded by an extended ...

Fundamental parameters of brightest cluster galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 1991 Photometry and spectroscopy of a sample of the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are presented, and the relationships between scale length, surface brightness, velocity dispersion, and line strength are determined and compared with the relations determined for lower luminosity ellipticals (LLEs).
