The Dust and Molecular Gas in the Brightest Cluster Galaxy in MACS 1931.8-2635 [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 We present new Atacama Large Millimeter Array observations of the molecular gas and far-infrared continuum around the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the cool-core cluster MACS 1931.8-2635. Our observations reveal (1.9 ± 0.3) × 1010 M⊙ of molecular gas,

A radio halo surrounding the Brightest Cluster Galaxy in RXCJ0232.2–4420: a mini-halo in transition? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2019 Diffuse radio sources associated with the intra-cluster medium are direct probes of the cosmic ray electrons and magnetic fields. We report the discovery of a diffuse radio source in the galaxy cluster RXCJ0232.2–4420 (SPT-CL J0232–4421, z = 0.2836 ...

Evolution of brightest cluster galaxies in X ray clusters [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 A recent paper (Burke, Collins & Mann 2000) presents the analysis of the K-band Hubble diagram of 76 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in X-ray clusters and shows that the properties of BCGs depend on the X-ray luminosity (Lx) of their host clusters.

An Infrared Survey of Brightest Cluster Galaxies. II. Why are Some Brightest Cluster Galaxies Forming Stars? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 Quillen et al.(2007) presented an imaging survey with the {\it Spitzer Space Telescope} of 62 brightest cluster galaxies with optical line emission located in the cores of X-ray luminous clusters. They found that at least half of these sources have signs of excess infrared emission. Here we discuss the nature of the IR emission and its implications for

A Photometric Survey of Globular Cluster Systems in Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022 Hubble Space Telescope imaging for 26 giant early-type galaxies, all drawn from the MAST archive, is used to carry out photometry of their surrounding globular cluster (GC) systems. Most of these targets are Brightest Cluster Galaxies and their distances

Brightest cluster galaxies: the centre can(not?) hold [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT We explore the persistence of the alignment of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) with their local environment. We find that a significant fraction of BCGs do not coincide with the centroid of the X-ray gas distribution and/or show peculiar velocities (they are not at rest with respect to the cluster mean).

Detection of a Substantial Molecular Gas Reservoir in a Brightest Cluster Galaxy at z = 1.7 [PDF]
, 2017 We report the detection of CO(2–1) emission coincident with the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of the high-redshift galaxy cluster SpARCS1049+56, with the Redshift Search Receiver (RSR) on the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT).
