On the Origin and Evolution of the Intra-Cluster Light: A Brief Review of the Most Recent Developments

open access: yesGalaxies, 2021
Not all the light in galaxy groups and clusters comes from stars that are bound to galaxies. A significant fraction of it constitutes the so-called intracluster or diffuse light (ICL), a low surface brightness component of groups/clusters generally found

Detection of a Star Forming Galaxy in the Center of a Low-Mass Galaxy Cluster

open access: yes, 2018
Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) residing in the centers of galaxy clusters are typically quenched giant ellipticals. A recent study hinted that star-forming galaxies with large disks, so-called superluminous spirals and lenticulars, are the BCGs of a ...

Cluster detection from surface-brightness fluctuations in SDSS data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Galaxy clusters can be detected as surface brightness enhancements in smoothed optical surveys. This method does not require individual galaxies to be identifiable, and enables clusters to be detected out to surprisingly high redshifts, as recently ...

3D-Matched-Filter Galaxy Cluster Finder I: Selection Functions and CFHTLS Deep Clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We present an optimised galaxy cluster finder, 3D-Matched-Filter (3D-MF), which utilises galaxy cluster radial profiles, luminosity functions and redshift information to detect galaxy clusters in optical surveys.

THE ORIENTATION OF GALAXIES IN GALAXY CLUSTERS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2010
We present an analysis of the spatial orientations of galaxies in the 247 optically selected rich Abell clusters, having in the considered area at least 100 members. We investigated the relation between angles giving information about galaxy angular momenta and the number of members in each structure.

Morphological Distribution of Galaxies in Some Nearby Clusters

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2019
We study the morphological distribution of galaxies in some nearby clusters, using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey – Data Release 9 (SDSS-DR9). The segregation between early-type galaxies and late-type ones is investigated in g – r / u – g color space ...

Galaxy Cluster Environments of Radio Sources

open access: yes, 2011
Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the FIRST (Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty Centimeters) catalogs, we examined the optical environments around double-lobed radio sources. Previous studies have shown that multi-component radio sources

Galaxy Orbits for Galaxy Clusters in Sloan Digital Sky Survey and 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We present the results of a study for galaxy orbits in galaxy clusters using a spectroscopic sample of galaxies in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS).
