Mg2 gradients as a signature of brightest cluster galaxy evolution
(Wiley, 2011)We have fitted the Mg2 absorption index gradients for 21 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), in the nearby Universe, for which we have obtained high signal-to-noise ratio, long-slit spectra on the Gemini telescopes. This ... -
Stellar population gradients in brightest cluster galaxies
(Oxford Univ Press, 2012)We present the stellar population and velocity dispersion gradients for a sample of 24 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in the nearby Universe for which we have obtained high-quality long-slit spectra at the Gemini ... -
The ultraviolet upturn in brightest cluster galaxies
(Wiley, 2011)This paper is part of a series devoted to the investigation of a large sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), their properties and the relationships between these properties and the properties of the host clusters. ...
