Intracluster medium cooling, AGN feedback, and brightest cluster galaxy properties of galaxy groups - Five properties where groups differ from clusters [PDF]
, 2014 Aims. We aim to investigate cool-core and non-cool-core properties of galaxy groups through X-ray data and compare them to the AGN radio output to understand the network of intracluster medium (ICM) cooling and feedback by supermassive black holes.

How special are brightest group and cluster galaxies? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2007 Abstract We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to construct a sample of 625 brightest group and cluster galaxies (BCGs) together with control samples of non-BCGs matched in stellar mass, redshift and colour. We investigate how the systematic properties of BCGs depend on stellar mass and on their privileged location near the cluster ...

THE ELLIPTICITIES OF GALAXIES IN GALAXY CLUSTERS OF DIFFERENT MORPHOLOGICAL TYPE
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2014 The distribution of galaxy ellipticities was analyzed for 207 rich PF galaxy clusters found in the Munster Red Sky Survey Galaxy Catalogue. Clusters with BM types from a comparison with the ACO catalogue were also classified on the new scheme.

A NOVEL APPROACH TO CONSTRAIN THE MASS RATIO OF MINOR MERGERS IN ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES: APPLICATION TO NGC 4889, THE BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXY IN COMA [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2013 Minor mergers are thought to be important for the buildup and structural evolution of massive elliptical galaxies. In this work, we report the discovery of a system of four shell features in NGC 4889, one of the brightest members of the Coma cluster ...

The HectoMAP Cluster Survey: Spectroscopically Identified Clusters and their Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 We apply a friends-of-friends (FoF) algorithm to identify galaxy clusters and we use the catalog to explore the evolutionary synergy between brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and their host clusters.

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.

A 1010 SOLAR MASS FLOW OF MOLECULAR GAS IN THE A1835 BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXY [PDF]
, 2013 We report ALMA Early Science observations of the A1835 brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the CO (3–2) and CO (1–0) emission lines. We detect 5 × 1010 M☉ of molecular gas within 10 kpc of the BCG. Its ensemble velocity profile width of ∼130 km s−1 FWHM is

Deep MOS Spectroscopy of NGC 1316 Globular Clusters
Galaxies, 2017 The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 is the brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster, and displays a number of morphological features that might be interpreted as an intermediate age merger remanent (∼3 Gyr).
