    • The detailed nature of active central cluster galaxies 

      Loubser, S.I. (South African Institute of Physics, 2014)
      We present detailed IFU observations of the central few kiloparsecs of the ionised nebulae surrounding four active central cluster galaxies in cooling flow clusters. All four galaxies have Hα filaments, and existing data ...
    • Dynamical modelling of brightest cluster galaxies: constraints on the IMF 

      Loubser, S.I. (Cambridge Univ Press, 2020)
      We study the stellar and dynamical masses, as well as the stellar populations, of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) located in 32 massive clusters, and for a sub-sample of these use the results to place constraints on the ...
    • Investigating brightest cluster galaxies: kinematics with SALT 

      Loubser, S.I. (South African Institute of Physics, 2014)
      We present detailed, high spatial and spectral resolution, longslit observations of four active central cluster galaxies (CCGs) in cooling flow clusters (Abell 0085, 0133, 0644 and Ophiuchus). Our sample consists of CCGs ...
    • Stellar and dynamical masses of brightest cluster galaxies 

      Loubser, S.I. (Cambridge Univ Press, 2020)
      We investigate the stellar and dynamical mass profiles of 32 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs, MK = −25.7 to −27.8 mag) in massive clusters (0.05 < z < 0.30), and in particular the rising velocity dispersion profiles of ...
