A 13CO Detection in a Brightest Cluster Galaxy [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 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.

Are Brightest Cluster Galaxies Special?
Research Notes of the AAS, 2023 A longstanding question when studying Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and their evolution is whether their luminosities are statistical extremes of the luminosity distribution of other cluster member galaxies, or whether their luminosities follow a ...

MAJOR CLUSTER MERGERS AND THE LOCATION OF THE BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 Using a large N-body cosmological simulation combined with a subgrid treatment of galaxy formation, merging, and tidal destruction, we study the formation and evolution of the galaxy and cluster population in a comoving volume (100 Mpc)3 in a ΛCDM ...

A detection of wobbling brightest cluster galaxies within massive galaxy clusters [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 A striking signal of dark matter beyond the standard model is the existence of cores in the centre of galaxy clusters. Recent simulations predict that a brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) inside a cored galaxy cluster will exhibit residual wobbling due to ...

The brightest UV-selected galaxies in protoclusters at $z\sim4$: Ancestors of Brightest Cluster Galaxies? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 We present the results of a survey of the brightest UV-selected galaxies in protoclusters. These proto-brightest cluster galaxy (proto-BCG) candidates are drawn from 179 overdense regions of $g$-dropout galaxies at $z\sim4$ from the Hyper Suprime-Cam ...

The Origin of the Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1998 Most clusters and groups of galaxies contain a giant elliptical galaxy in their centres which far outshines and outweighs normal ellipticals. The origin of these brightest cluster galaxies is intimately related to the collapse and formation of the cluster. Using an N-body simulation of a cluster of galaxies in a hierarchical cosmological model, we show

Stellar formation in Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009 AbstractWe study the interplay between stellar population of the Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCG) and cluster global properties. We use X-ray properties from Chandra, ROSAT and ASCA observations and BCGs spectra from SDSS-DR6. Using STARLIGHT we determined the star formation history of the BCGs and look for relations with the intra-cluster gas ...

Structural analysis of brightest cluster galaxies in poor and rich clusters [PDF]
New Astronomy, 2022 Studying structural parameters of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) provides important clues to understand their formation and evolution. We present the results of the surface brightness profile fitting of 1685 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) drawn from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey in the redshift range of $0.1 < z < 1.0 ...

Constraints on the Size Evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 We measure the luminosity profiles of 16 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) at $0.4 < z < 0.8$ using high resolution F160W NICMOS and F814W WFPC2 HST imaging. The heterogeneous sample is drawn from a variety of surveys: seven from clusters in the Einstein Medium Sensitivity Survey, five from the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey and its northern
