1. Classical cluster catalogue (e.g. Abell) Based on eye-inspection. Projection effect, time-consuming…

2. Massive database (SDSS, 2dF, …) Systematic Search! Redshift – 3D distribution! (e.g. C4)

Fiber collision!!

Spectroscopy is incomplete!!

In a dense cluster,

Secondary of environmental effect?

BCGs in simulation Extremely huge Continuously growing BCGs are so special.

The BCGs vs. DensityI. Motivation

Denser Brighter BCGs

As well as 2nd BCGs & 3rd BCGs

No difference in their density dependence.

From SDSS

BCGs, 2nd BCGs, & 3rd BCGs are redder

than Non-cluster galaxies.

They are different population.

Conclusion

New density measurement. minimize the incompleteness. A better tool for environment study.

New homogenous cluster catalogue. Color radial dependence Morphology-Density relation. Denser Environment Stronger MDR Denser Brighter BCGs Cluster Galaxies Redder than Non-cluster Galaxies. They are

different each other. BCGs and other cluster galaxies.
