The link between morphology and structure of brightest cluster galaxies: automatic identification of cDs
We study a large sample of 625 low-redshift brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and link their morphologies to their structural properties. We derive visual morphologies and find that ∼57 per cent of the BCGs are cD galaxies, ∼13 per cent are ellipticals, and ∼21 per cent belong to the intermediate cl...
