Brightest Members of Clusters of Galaxies [PDF]

open access: possibleNature, 1970
THE work of Humason, Mayall and Sandage1 and the more recent work of Sandage2–5 and Peterson6 show that the dispersion in the absolute magnitude of the first brightest galaxies in rich clusters of galaxies is only 0.3 magnitude. Peebles7 suggested that this small dispersion is simply the consequence of the cluster luminosity function and compared the ...

The Evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies

2003
In this contribution we review the properties of Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and discuss the impact that X-ray cluster selection is having on their use as cosmological probes. BCGs form a unique galaxy population. They are located near the gravitational centre of galaxy clusters and are the most massive galaxies in the universe, being some 10 ...
