Co-Evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Galaxy Activity in the Host Clusters [PDF]
, 2009 We have identified ~500 relatively relaxed galaxy clusters at low redshift (z < 0.3) from the maxBCG catalog with double radio lobes at the center; about 200 radio counterparts of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) of these clusters appear to be wide ...

The shapes of brightest cluster galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 1993 The mean isophotal axis ratios are computed for a complete sample of 119 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in Abell clusters. The cumulative distribution function F(q) of axis ratios for the BCGs differs from F(q) for a sample of ordinary elliptical galaxies at only the P=0.14 probability level, as measured by a Kolmogorov Smirnov test.

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

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

THE EVOLUTION OF BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXIES IN A HIERARCHICAL UNIVERSE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 We investigate the evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) from redshift z~1.6 to z~0. We use the semi-analytic model of Croton et al. (2006) with a new spectro-photometric model based on the Maraston (2005) stellar populations and a new recipe for the dust extinction. We compare the model predictions of the K-band luminosity evolution and the J-
