The JWST PEARLS View of the El Gordo Galaxy Cluster and of the Structure It Magnifies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The massive galaxy cluster El Gordo ( z = 0.87) imprints multitudes of gravitationally lensed arcs onto James Webb Space Telescope Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) images.

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

Comparing Globular Cluster System Properties with Host Galaxy Environment
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present Hubble Space Telescope photometry in the optical (F475X) and near-infrared (F110W) bands of the globular cluster (GC) systems of the inner halos of a sample of 15 massive elliptical galaxies.

Coordinated Assembly of Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2018 Abstract Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) in massive dark matter halos are shaped by complex merging processes. We present a detailed stellar population analysis in the central region of Abell 3827 at z ∼ 0.1, including five-nucleus galaxies involved in a BCG assembly.

LINEAR SUBSTRUCTURES IN GALAXY CLUSTERS
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2019 We propose detailed scheme that is describing the morphology of linear substructures in galaxy clusters. Our base morphological scheme di- vides galaxy clusters using numerical criteria according the parameters: concentration to the cluster center, the ...

MORPHOLOGICAL TYPES OF 254 RICH PF GALAXY CLUSTERS
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2014 We determined the morphological types for 254 rich galaxy clusters from the PF Catalogue of Galaxy Clusters and Groups. The data set contains the PF galaxy clusters, which have no ACO coinciding ones.

The Brightest UV-selected Galaxies in Protoclusters at z ∼ 4: Ancestors of Brightest Cluster Galaxies? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Abstract 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 ∼ 4 from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program identified previously as good protocluster candidates. This

Velocity dispersion of brightest cluster galaxies in cosmological simulations [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT Using the DIANOGA hydrodynamical zoom-in simulation set of galaxy clusters, we analyse the dynamics traced by stars belonging to the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and their surrounding diffuse component, forming the intracluster light (ICL), and compare it to the dynamics traced by dark matter and galaxies identified in the ...
