摘要：
We study the properties of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) drawn from a catalogue of more than 69 000 clusters in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 6 based on the adaptive matched filter technique. Our sample consists of more than 14 300 galaxies in the redshift range 0.10.3. We test the catalogue by showing that it includes well-known BCGs which lie in the SDSS footprint. We characterize the Szabo et al. catalogue content in terms of BCGs r-band luminosities and optical colours as well as their trends with redshift.
