Brightest Cluster Galaxies in the Local Universe: Mergers, Interactions and the Implications for Galaxy Evolution [PDF]
Clusters of Galaxies are amongst the largest gravitationally bound structures in our Universe and consist of thousands of galaxies. It is in these gigantic systems where Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) are found, the most massive galaxies in our ...

Deep and narrow CO absorption revealing molecular clouds in the Hydra-A brightest cluster galaxy [PDF]
Active galactic nuclei play a crucial role in the accretion and ejection of gas in galaxies. Although their outflows are well studied, finding direct evidence of accretion has proved very difficult and has so far been done for very few sources.

Black hole mass estimates in brightest cluster galaxies [PDF]
We present HST imaging and spectroscopic observations of three brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), Abell 1836-BCG, Abell 2052-BCG, and Abell 3565-BCG, obtained with WFPC2, ACS, and STIS.

Spectral Energy Distribution Fitting of Globular Clusters in NGC 4874: Masses and Metallicities
In most nearby galaxies, photometry of the integrated light of their globular clusters (GCs) has been obtained in only two filters, yielding just a single color index.

Chandra Observation of Abell 1142: A Cool-core Cluster Lacking a Central Brightest Cluster Galaxy? [PDF]
Abell 1142 is a low-mass galaxy cluster at low redshift containing two comparable brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) resembling a scaled-down version of the Coma Cluster.

Agn In Brightest Cluster Galaxies
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 ...

Extended Radio Emission in the Perhipheral Regions of the Shapley Concentration Core
The Shapley Concentration (SC) is a galaxy supercluster (few tens of degrees) in the Local Universe (<z>∼0.048) which is currently undergoing cluster mergers and group accretion.
