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.

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.

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

The Angular Momentum of Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 AbstractMassive Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) are observed to have a range of angular momenta, suggesting a variety of merging histories.

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).

ON THE DETERMINATION OF GALAXY STRUCTURE ELLIPTICITY
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2007 We discuss factors influencing the determination of the observed shape of galaxy clusters when the covariance ellipse method is involved. The analysis of 377 Abell clusters show that at greater distances from the cluster center the ellipticity is rather ...

Galactic cannibalism and CDM density profiles [PDF]
, 2004 Using N-body simulations we show that the process of formation of the brightest cluster galaxy through dissipationless galactic cannibalism can affect the inner cluster dark matter density profile.

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 ...
