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 ...

First Results on the Cluster Galaxy Population from the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey. III. Brightest Cluster Galaxies, Stellar Mass Distribution, and Active Galaxies [PDF]
, 2017 The unprecedented depth and area surveyed by the Subaru Strategic Program with the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC-SSP) have enabled us to construct and publish the largest distant cluster sample out to to date.

Brightest Cluster Galaxy Alignments in Merging Clusters [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 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 ...

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

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).

A Radio Relic and a Search for the Central Black Hole in the Abell 2261 Brightest Cluster Galaxy [PDF]
, 2017 We present VLA images and HST/STIS spectra of sources within the center of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in Abell 2261. These observations were obtained to test the hypothesis that its extremely large, flat core reflects the ejection of its ...

The challenging task of determining star formation rates: the case of a massive stellar burst in the brightest cluster galaxy of Phoenix galaxy cluster [PDF]
, 2016 Star formation in galaxies at the center of cooling-flow galaxy clusters is an important phenomenon in the context of formation and evolution of massive galaxies in the Universe. Yet, star formation rates (SFRs) in such systems continue to be elusive. We

Starbursting Brightest Cluster Galaxy: a Herschel view of the massive cluster MACS J1931.8-2634 [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate the dust-obscured star formation properties of the massive, X-ray selected galaxy cluster MACS J1931.8{2634 at z=0.352. Using far-infrared (FIR) imaging in the range 100-500 m obtained with the Herschel telescope, we extract 31 sources (2 )
