Comparing Globular Cluster System Properties with Host Galaxy Environment
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.

Riding the wake of a merging galaxy cluster [PDF]
Using WHT OASIS integral field unit observations, we report the discovery of a thin plume of ionised gas extending from the brightest cluster galaxy in Abell 2146 to the sub-cluster X-ray cool core which is offset from the BCG by ~37 kpc.

Deep MOS Spectroscopy of NGC 1316 Globular Clusters
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).

A 1010 SOLAR MASS FLOW OF MOLECULAR GAS IN THE A1835 BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXY [PDF]
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

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]
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 ...

Separating baryons and dark matter in cluster cores: a full 2-D lensing and dynamic analysis of Abell 383 and MS2137-23 [PDF]
(abridged) We utilize existing imaging and spectroscopic data for the galaxy clusters MS2137-23 and Abell 383 to present improved measures of the distribution of dark and baryonic material in the clusters' central regions.

MASSIVE MOLECULAR GAS FLOWS IN THE A1664 BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXY [PDF]
We report ALMA Early Science CO(1–0) and CO(3–2) observations of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in A1664. The BCG contains 1.1 × 1010 M☉ of molecular gas divided roughly equally between two distinct velocity systems: one from −250 to +250 km s−1 ...

PS1-12sk IS A PECULIAR SUPERNOVA FROM A He-RICH PROGENITOR SYSTEM IN A BRIGHTEST CLUSTER GALAXY ENVIRONMENT [PDF]
We report on our discovery and observations of the Pan-STARRS1 supernova (SN) PS1-12sk, a transient with properties that indicate atypical star formation in its host galaxy cluster or pose a challenge to popular progenitor system models for this class of

Precision Modeling of JWST's First Cluster Lens SMACS J0723.3–7327
Exploiting the fundamentally achromatic nature of gravitational lensing, we present a lens model for the massive galaxy cluster SMACS J0723.3−7323 (SMACS J0723; z = 0.388) that significantly improves upon earlier work.
