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.

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.

THE LUMINOSITY PROFILES OF BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2011 (Abridged) We have derived detailed R band luminosity profiles and structural parameters for a total of 430 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), down to a limiting surface brightness of 24.5 mag/arcsec^2. Light profiles were initially fitted with a Sersic's R^(1/n) model, but we found that 205 (~48) BCGs require a double component model to accurately ...

The ultraviolet upturn in brightest cluster galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2010 AbstractThis study is part of a series devoted to the investigation of a large sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), their properties and the relationships between these and the properties of the host clusters. In this paper, we compare the stellar population properties derived from high signal-to-noise, optical long-slit spectra with the GALEX ...

Constraints on the Size Evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 We measure the luminosity profiles of 16 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) at $0.4 < z < 0.8$ using high resolution F160W NICMOS and F814W WFPC2 HST imaging. The heterogeneous sample is drawn from a variety of surveys: seven from clusters in the Einstein Medium Sensitivity Survey, five from the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey and its northern

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).

Intrinsic Shapes of Brightest Cluster Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Abstract We discuss the statistical distribution of galaxy shapes and viewing angles under the assumption of triaxiality by deprojecting observed surface brightness profiles of 56 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) coming from a recently published large deep-photometry sample.
