Brightest Members of Clusters of Galaxies

Nature, 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 ...

Ten billion years of brightest cluster galaxy alignments [PDF]

Nature Astronomy, 2017
A galaxy’s orientation is one of its most basic observable properties. Astronomers once assumed that galaxies are randomly oriented in space; however, it is now clear that some have preferred orientations with respect to their surroundings.

Brightest Members of Clusters of Galaxies

Nature, 1969
THERE are two opposing interpretations of the small dispersion σ1∼0.35 mag in the absolute magnitudes M1 of the brightest members of rich clusters of galaxies measured by Sandage1. In one view, advanced, among others, by Peebles2,3, it is assumed that there is a universal cluster luminosity function, and that the value of σ1 and of the variation of M1 ...

“Radio–active” Brightest Cluster Galaxies

2008
We present a sample of clusters drawn from the C4 cluster catalog of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, where particular emphasis has been placed on the correct identification of the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) and the determination of the velocity dispersion within the virial radius.
