The BCG in Abell 2261 Marc Postman & the CLASH team Special Guest Star: Tod Lauer
BCG Model 38 arcsec = 133 kpc
30 kpc 10 kpc For A2261: 1 arcsec subtends ~3.6 kpc (h=0.7) BCG Half-light radius = 28 kpc (h=0.7)
I(r) = Io((r/rb)-γ)(1 + (r/rb)-α)(γ-β)/α Cusp radius, rγ, is defined in Lauer et al. 2007: Radius at which dln(I(r))/dlnr reaches a prescribed value, in this case -0.5. rγ is more tightly correlated with other galaxy properties than rb
