Preparing for Rubin-LSST -- Detecting Brightest Cluster Galaxies with Machine Learning in the LSST DP0.2 simulation

Aline Chu, Ludvig Doeser, Simon Ding +1

The future Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is expected to deliver its first data release in the current of 2025. The upcoming survey will provide us with images of gal…

A UNIONS view of the brightest central galaxies of candidate fossil groups

Aline Chu, F. Durret, A. Ellien +10

The formation process of fossil groups (FGs) is still under debate, and large samples of such objects are still missing. The aim of this paper is to increase the sample of known FG…

Off-centre supermassive black holes in bright central galaxies

Aline Chu, Pierre Boldrini, Joe Silk

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are believed to reside at the centre of massive galaxies such as brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). However, as BCGs experienced numerous galaxy me…

Physical properties of more than one thousand brightest cluster galaxies detected in the Canada France Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey

Aline Chu, Florian Sarron, Florence Durret +1

Brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are very massive elliptical galaxies found at the centers of clusters. Their study gives clues on the formation and evolution of the clusters in w…

Physical properties of Brightest Cluster Galaxies up to redshift 1.80 based on HST data

Aline Chu, Florence Durret, Isabel Marquez

Brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) have grown by accreting numerous smaller galaxies and can be used as tracers of cluster formation and evolution in the cosmic web. However, there…
