cds-question@unistra.frgalaxy-clustersradial-velocitygalaxy-kinematicsWe have obtained photometry and spectroscopy of 433 z<=0.08 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in a full-sky survey of Abell clusters to construct a BCG sample suitable for probing deviations from the local Hubble flow. This sample allows us to explore the structural and photometric properties of BCGs at the present epoch, their location in their hosting galaxy clusters, and the effects of the cluster environment on their structure and evolution. We revisit the L_m_-{alpha} relation for BCGs, which uses {alpha}, the log-slope of the BCG photometric curve of growth, to predict the metric luminosity in an aperture with 14.3kpc radius, L_m_, for use as a distance indicator. We measure central stellar velocity dispersions, {sigma}, of the BCGs.2014ApJ...797...82Lhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/797/82CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/118 : UBVRI standards around Celestial Equator (Landolt 1983)II/282 : SDSS Photometric Catalog, DR 6 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2007)II/294 : SDSS Photometric Catalog, DR 7 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2009)VII/110 : Rich Clusters of Galaxies (Abell+ 1989)IX/10 : ROSAT All-Sky Bright Source Catalogue (1RXS) (Voges+ 1999)J/AJ/87/1165 : Reddening Maps derived from HI & Galaxy CountsJ/ApJ/384/404 : Redshifts of a nearby rich galaxy clusters (Postman+, 1992)J/ApJ/425/418 : Absolute R mag of brightest cluster galaxies (Lauer+, 1994)J/ApJ/440/28 : Brightest Cluster Galaxies velocities (Postman+ 1995)J/MNRAS/281/799 : XBACs, the sample (Ebeling+, 1996)J/ApJ/554/L129 : X-ray luminosity-velocity dispersion relationJ/ApJ/579/93 : KPNO/Deeprange distant cluster survey (Postman+, 2002)J/AJ/126/2740 : X-ray emission of RASS Abell clusters (Ledlow+, 2003)J/AJ/130/968 : SDSS-C4 cluster catalog (Miller+, 2005)J/ApJ/662/808 : Cusp radius in luminous elliptical galaxies (Lauer+, 2007)J/MNRAS/379/867 : BCG C4 cluster catalog (von der Linden+, 2007)J/ApJS/176/39 : IR survey of brightest cluster galaxies I.
