    • The central stellar populations of brightest cluster galaxies 

      Viljoen, Danièl Natasha. (North-West University, 2012)
      The majority of galaxy clusters contain a massive galaxy in the centre of the clusters that are far more luminous and massive than the other galaxies in the cluster. These galaxies are called the brightest galaxy clusters ...
    • Kinematics and star formation histories of brightest cluster galaxies 

      Nkosi, Siyabulela Andile (North-West University (South Africa), 2023)
      Brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are the most massive and luminous galaxies in the Universe. In this work we study BCGs at intermediate redshifts (0.3 < z < 0.8) to provide more observational insights on the BCG formation ...
