The Angular Momentum of Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 AbstractMassive Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) are observed to have a range of angular momenta, suggesting a variety of merging histories.

CLASH-VLT: The Inner Slope of the MACS J1206.2-0847 Dark Matter Density Profile
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The inner slope ( γ _DM ) of the dark matter (DM) density profile of cosmological halos carries information about the properties of DM and/or baryonic processes affecting the halo gravitational potential.

A 13CO Detection in a Brightest Cluster Galaxy [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Abstract We present ALMA Cycle 4 observations of CO(1-0), CO(3-2), and 13CO(3-2) line emission in the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of RXJ0821+0752. This is one of the first detections of 13CO line emission in a galaxy cluster. Half of the CO(3-2) line emission originates from two clumps of molecular gas that are spatially offset from ...

Intrinsic Shapes of Brightest Cluster Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Abstract We discuss the statistical distribution of galaxy shapes and viewing angles under the assumption of triaxiality by deprojecting observed surface brightness profiles of 56 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) coming from a recently published large deep-photometry sample.

Molecular gas in distant brightest cluster galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 The mechanisms governing the stellar mass assembly and star formation history of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are still being debated. By means of new and archival molecular gas observations we investigate the role of dense megaparsec-scale environments in regulating the fueling of star formation in distant BCGs, through cosmic time.

ON THE DETERMINATION OF GALAXY STRUCTURE ELLIPTICITY
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2007 We discuss factors influencing the determination of the observed shape of galaxy clusters when the covariance ellipse method is involved. The analysis of 377 Abell clusters show that at greater distances from the cluster center the ellipticity is rather ...

Brightest Cluster Galaxy Alignments in Merging Clusters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Abstract The orientations of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and their host clusters tend to be aligned, but the mechanism driving this is not clear. To probe the role of cluster mergers in this process, we quantify alignments of 38 BCGs in 22 clusters undergoing major mergers (up to ∼1 Gyr after first pericenter).

THE DETERMINATION OF THE MORPHOLOGICAL TYPES OF GALAXY CLUSTERS USING CLUSTER CARTOGRAPHY
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2016 We discuss the possibility of using the Cluster Cartography set for the determined the morphological types of galaxy clusters. The applied morphological scheme was proposed by Panko (2013).
