Brightest Cluster Galaxy Profile Shapes [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

OrchardQuant‐3D: combining drone and LiDAR to perform scalable 3D phenotyping for characterising key canopy and floral traits in fruit orchards

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 4910-4929, November 2025.
Summary Orchard fruits such as pear and apple are important for ensuring global food security and agricultural economy as they not only provide essential nutrients, but also support biodiversity and ecosystem services. Breeders, growers and plant researchers constantly study desirable tree morphological features and floral characteristics to ensure ...

Minor Mergers Are Not Enough: The Importance of Major Mergers during Brightest Cluster Galaxy Assembly

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
We investigate the roles of major and minor mergers during brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) assembly using surface brightness profiles, line indices, and fundamental plane relations.

The dynamical status of ZwCl 2341.1+0000: a very elongated galaxy structure with a complex radio emission

open access: yes, 2013
We study the dynamical status of the galaxy system ZwCl 2341.1+0000, a filamentary multi-Mpc galaxy structure associated with a complex diffuse radio emission.

WITNESSING THE FORMATION OF A BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXY IN A NEARBY X-RAY CLUSTER [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The central dominant galaxies in galaxy clusters constitute the most massive and luminous galaxies in the universe. Despite this, the formation of these brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and the impact of this on the surrounding cluster environment ...

Developmental Hypoxia Enhances Kidney Organoid Complexity and Maturity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 40, October 27, 2025.
The current bottleneck in metanephric mesenchyme (MM)‐derived nephron organoid development is the absence of a connected network of collecting ducts (CD) derived from the ureteric bud (UB). To address this limitation, this study proposes a hypoxia‐based differentiation method that mimics the natural renal developmental environment, enabling the ...

A Submillimeter Selected Quasar in the Field of Abell 478

open access: yes, 2000
We report the discovery of a z=2.83 quasar in the field of the cooling flow galaxy cluster Abell 478. This quasar was first detected in a submm survey of star forming galaxies at high redshifts, as the brightest source.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Integrative Taxonomy Discovers Two New Species of Digitate Soft Corals in the Urban Waters of China's Greater Bay Area

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This article identified two novel soft coral species (Parasphaerasclera dimorpha sp. nov. and Paraminabea inflata sp. nov.) from urbanized South China Sea waters, distinct in morphology and genetics. Our study highlighted undocumented coral diversity in the hyper‐urbanized Greater Bay Area, emphasizing the need for cryptic species documentation in ...

Brightest cluster galaxies and the intracluster light

open access: yes
In this chapter, we delve into the formation and primary characteristics of two significant components within galaxy clusters: the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and the intracluster light (ICL). Drawing upon recent and pertinent studies in the field, we explore the mechanisms driving their growth from high redshift to the present day, i.e., mergers
