We present measurements of surface brightness and colour profiles for the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in a sample of 48 X-ray luminous galaxy clusters. These data were obtained as part of the Canadian Cluster Comparison Project…

We present a principal component analysis of galaxy spectra from the CNOC sample of rich X-ray luminous clusters at 0.18 < z < 0.55. Composite radial distributions of different stellar populations show strong gradients as a function of…

We report the discovery of a rich component of dusty star-forming galaxies contaminating the red-sequence in the supercluster system comprising Abell 901a, 901b and A902 at redshift ~0.17. These galaxies do not fit into the colour-density…

The massive cluster of galaxies Abell 2219 (z = 0.228) was observed at 14.3 $\mu$m with the Infrared Space Observatory and results were published by Barvainis et al. (1999). These observations have been reanalyzed using a method…

We present Hubble Space Telescope imaging and spectroscopic observations of three Brightest Cluster Galaxies, Abell 1836-BCG, Abell 2052-BCG, and Abell 3565-BCG, obtained with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, the Advanced Camera for…

The colour and luminosity distributions of red galaxies in the cluster Abell 1185 (z=0.0325) were studied down to M*+8 in the B, V and R bands. The colour-magnitude (hereafter CM) relation is linear without evidence for a significant…

We recover the luminosity distributions over a wide range of absolute magnitude (-24.5 < M_{R} < -16.5) for a sample of seven rich southern galaxy clusters. We find a large variation in the ratio of dwarf to giant galaxies, DGR: 0.8\le $…

Abell 383 is a famous rich cluster (z = 0.1887) imaged extensively as a basis for intensive strong and weak lensing studies. Nonetheless there are few spectroscopic observations. We enable dynamical analyses by measuring 2360 new redshifts…

We present a color analysis of the galaxy populations of candidate clusters of galaxies from the Palomar Distant Cluster Survey (Postman et al.\ 1996). The survey was conducted in two broad band filters that closely match $V$ and $I$ and…

Observations of the core of the massive cluster Cl 0024+1654, at a redshift z=0.39, were obtained with the Infrared Space Observatory using ISOCAM at 6.7 mum and 14.3 mum (hereafter 15 mum). Thirty five sources were detected at 15 mum and…

We use the galaxy stellar mass and halo merger tree information from the semi-analytic model galaxy catalogue of Font et al. (2009) to examine the accretion of galaxies into a large sample of groups and clusters, covering a wide range in…

We present a gravitational lensing study of the massive galaxy cluster A2219 (redshift 0.22). This investigation is based on multicolour images from U through H, which allows photometric redshifts to be estimated for the background sources.…

A search for a correlation between the luminosities of the brightest stars and luminosities of their host galaxies was carried out on archived Hubble Space Telescope (HST) F606W or F555W (V) and F814W (I) images of about 150 nearby…
