cds-question@unistra.frgalaxy-clustersradial-velocitygalaxy-kinematicsThis is the first of a series of papers devoted to the investigation of a large sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), their kinematic and stellar population properties, and the relationships between those and the properties of the cluster. We have obtained high signal-to-noise ratio, long-slit spectra of these galaxies with Gemini and William Herschel Telescope with the primary purpose of investigating their stellar population properties. This paper describes the selection methods and criteria used to compile a new sample of galaxies, concentrating on BCGs previously classified as containing a halo (cD galaxies), together with the observations and data reduction. Here, we present the full sample of galaxies, and the measurement and interpretation of the radial velocity and velocity dispersion profiles of 41 BCGs.2008MNRAS.391.1009Lhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/391/1009CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/391/1009https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/391/1009http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/391/1009https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/391/1009https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/391/1009http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/391/1009GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/391/1009/table1 (The new sample of BCGs)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/391/1009/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/391/1009/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/391/1009/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true9.8595836.7341670.0055555555555555566/207 1006 1701 2169 2388 2432 3953 4990 8220 8264 8271 8520-8521 8526 8648 9287 9368 9468 9471 9776 10378-10379 16434 16543 16713 16767 17300 17662 18016 18168 18184 18324 19783 19993 20021 20072 20282 20355 20361 20707 21169 22577 22939 24943 25682 26109 26432 26848 27227 28251 33951 34423 34535 35055 38853 40777 40809 43597 43838 45523 45754 46069 46526https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/391/1009?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/MNRAS/391/1009/table1The new sample of BCGsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
