  19. COZIOL+09: “A large fractions of BCGs have significant peculiar velocity. This has one immediate consequence, which is that most clusters harboring a dominant galaxy are not dynamically relaxed” VAN DEN BOSCH+05: “The brightest galaxy in a dark matter halo is expected to reside at rest at the centre of the halo. In this paper, we test this `Central Galaxy Paradigm' (CGP) using group catalogues extracted from the Two-Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). VPEC OF BCGs: SOME PEOPLE SAY ... We show that the CGP is only consistent with the data in haloes with M < 1013 Msun, while in more massive haloes the data indicate a non-zero offset between the brightest galaxy and the satellites. This indicates that either central galaxies reside at the minimum of the dark matter potential, but that the halo itself is not yet fully relaxed, or, that the halo is relaxed, but that the central galaxy oscillates in its potential well.

  20. MIRALDA-ESCUDE’+95: “The fact that cD galaxies often have large peculiar velocities relative to the average of the cluster galaxies has been used as an argument against their identification as cluster centers: however, clusters are continuously merging, and their density peaks do not need to coincide with their centers of mass. Substructure will cause the density peaks to move, in response to the gravitational forces of the infalling material” VPEC OF BCGs: SOME PEOPLE SAY ...

  21. SLOSHING COLD FRONTS ARE STARTING TO BE DETECTED IN AN INCREASING NUMBER OF GROUPS: FEATURE PRESENT AT ALL SCALES (see also NGC 5098: Randall+09, NGC 5846: Machaceck poster) • OFF-AXIS MERGERS INDUCING COLD FRONTS CAN EXPLAIN SPEEDING BCGs ALSO IN RELAXED CLUSTERS: NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION TAKING CARE OF POSSIBLE SUBSTRUCTURES SUMMARY
