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.

Chandra Observations of Abell 2261 Brightest Cluster Galaxy, a Candidate Host to a Recoiling Black Hole [PDF]
, 2020 We use Chandra X-ray observations to look for evidence of a recoiling black hole from the brightest cluster galaxy in Abell 2261 (A2261-BCG). A2261-BCG is a strong candidate for a recoiling black hole because of its large, flat stellar core, revealed by ...

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).

Deep and narrow CO absorption revealing molecular clouds in the Hydra-A brightest cluster galaxy [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 Active galactic nuclei play a crucial role in the accretion and ejection of gas in galaxies. Although their outflows are well studied, finding direct evidence of accretion has proved very difficult and has so far been done for very few sources.

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 ...

Multiwavelength radio observations of a brightest cluster galaxy at z = 1.71: detection of a modest active galactic nucleus and evidence for extended star formation [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 We present deep, multiwavelength radio observations of SpARCS104922.6 + 564032.5, a z = 1.71 galaxy cluster with a starbursting core. Observations were made with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) in three bands: 1–2 GHz, 4–8 GHz, and 8–12 GHz.
