Accuracy of the Photometric Redshifts of Brightest Cluster Galaxies Identified in the CFHTLS-W1

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences
We determine the accuracy of photometric redshifts for the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) identified in the W1 field of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS).

Redshift‐Agnostic Machine Learning Classification: Unveiling Peak Performance in Galaxy, Star, and Quasar Classification (Using SDSS DR17)

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 5, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Classification of galaxies, stars, and quasars using spectral data is fundamental to astronomy, but often relies heavily on redshift. This study evaluates the performance of 10 machine learning algorithms on SDSS data to classify these objects, with a particular focus on scenarios where redshift information is unavailable.

EVOLUTION OF BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXY STRUCTURAL PARAMETERS IN THE LAST ∼6 Gyr: FEEDBACK PROCESSES VERSUS MERGER EVENTS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present results on the evolution of the structural parameters of two samples of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in the last 6 Gyr. The nearby sample of BCGs consists of 69 galaxies from the WINGS survey spanning a redshift range of 0.04 < z < 0.07 ...

Agn In Brightest Cluster Galaxies

open access: yes, 2018
We present a systematic investigation of the nuclear activity in Brighest Cluster Galaxies through cosmic epochs. By combining X-ray, Radio, optical and IR data, we constrain the origin of the feeding gas and the accretion regime, as well as the feedback processes affecting the surrounding Intra Cluster Medium and star formation events in the BCGs ...

Strong Lensing Model of SPT-CLJ0356-5337, a Major Merger Candidate at Redshift 1.0359 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We present an analysis of the mass distribution inferred from strong lensing by SPT-CL J0356-5337, a cluster of galaxies at redshift z = 1.0359 revealed in the follow-up of the SPT-SZ clusters.

Galaxy Clusters from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys. II. Environmental Effects on the Size–Mass Relation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
To investigate the environmental effects on the growth of galaxies, we study the size–mass relation across a broad range of environments with a vast sample of approximately 32 million galaxies at z < 0.5 from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys.

The Shape of the Chameleon Fifth-Force on the Mass Components of Galaxy Clusters

open access: yesUniverse
In the context of chameleon gravity, we present a semi-analytical solution of the chameleon field profile in an accurately modelled galaxy cluster’s mass components, namely the stellar mass of the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG), the baryonic mass in ...

Galaxy Superclusters Detected in the Modified PF-Catalog Using the FOF Method

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2011
The Modified Catalog of Galaxy Clusters and Groups (Panko & Flin 2006, PF), covering an area of 5000 square degrees in the southern sky, was used as the input for the search of galaxy superclusters.

Testing the Collisionless Nature of Dark Matter with the Radial Acceleration Relation in Galaxy Clusters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The radial acceleration relation (RAR) represents a tight empirical relation between the inferred total and baryonic centripetal accelerations, g _tot = GM _tot (< r )/ r ^2 and g _bar = GM _bar (< r )/ r ^2 , observed in galaxies and galaxy clusters ...
