Velocity Dispersions of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Their Host Clusters

We explore connections between brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and their host clusters. We first construct a HeCS-omnibus cluster sample including 227 galaxy clusters within 0.02 < z < 0.30; the total number of spectroscopic members from MMT/Hectospec and SDSS observations is 52325. Taking a...

description We explore connections between brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and their host clusters. We first construct a HeCS-omnibus cluster sample including 227 galaxy clusters within 0.02 < z < 0.30; the total number of spectroscopic members from MMT/Hectospec and SDSS observations is 52325. Taking advantage of the large spectroscopic sample, we compute physical properties of the clusters including the dynamical mass and cluster velocity dispersion ( cl). We also measure the central stellar velocity dispersion of the BCGs ( ) to examine the relation between BCG velocity dispersion and cluster velocity dispersion for the first time. The observed relation between BCG velocity dispersion and the cluster velocity dispersion is remarkably tight. Interestingly, the ratio decreases as a function of cl unlike the prediction from the numerical simulation of Dolag et al. The trend in suggests that BCG formation is more efficient in lower mass halos.
