Brightest Cluster Galaxies: the centre can(not?) hold

Roberto De Propris, Michael J. West, Felipe Andrade-Santos +9

We explore the persistence of the alignment of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) with their local environment. We find that a significant fraction of BCGs do not coincide with the…

The Blanco DECam Bulge Survey. I. The Survey Description and Early Results

R. Michael Rich, Christian I. Johnson, Michael Young +18

The Blanco Dark Energy Camera (DECam) Bulge survey is a Vera Rubin Observatory (LSST) pathfinder imaging survey, spanning sq. deg. of the Southern Galactic bulge, $-2^\c…

Tidal forces from the wake of dynamical friction: warps, lopsidedness and kinematic misalignment

Rain Kipper, María Benito, Peeter Tenjes +2

A galaxy moving through a background of dark matter particles, induces an overdensity of these particles or a wake behind it. The back reaction of this wake on the galaxy is a forc…

Evolution and Role of Mergers in the BCG-Cluster Alignment. A View from Cosmological Hydro-Simulations

Cinthia Ragone-Figueroa, Gian Luigi Granato, Stefano Borgani +5

Contradictory results have been reported on the time evolution of the alignment between clusters and their Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG). We study this topic by analyzing cosmolog…

Environmental Effects on the UV Upturn in Local Clusters of Galaxies

Sadman Ali, Malcolm Bremer, Steven Phillipps +1

We explore the dependence of UV upturn colours in early type cluster galaxies on the properties of their parent clusters (such as velocity dispersion and X-ray luminosity) and on t…
