Abell 1758N BCG (short for Abell 1758 Northern Brightest Cluster Galaxy) is a massive elliptical galaxy located in the constellation of Canes Venatici. The redshift of the galaxy is (z) 0.278[1] and it is the brightest cluster galaxy of the northern subcluster region of the galaxy cluster Abell 1758, which in turn also resides in the northwestern region.[2]
Description
Abell 1758N BCG is classified as a radio galaxy, with a radio source having a total estimated radio power of 14.6 ± 0.4 × 1023 W Hz−1 and has a radio flux density of 6.03 ± 0.15 mJy at 1.4 GHz.[3] There is also radio emission in the form of a radio halo.[4]
The total magnitude of the BCG calculated by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is 17.15, while the heliocentric radial velocity is 83,489 kilometers per second.[2] The optical spectrum of the BCG does not show emission lines.[5]
The total star formation at 24 micrometers is 0.93 M☉ per year, while the stellar mass of the BCG is 0.486 × 1012 M☉.[6][7] The core of the BCG has a red color appearance based on the inner shape color profile, with the BCG itself having a best fit surface brightness profile parameter of 51.53+0.33−0.42 kiloparsecs.[8]
The BCG is also an X-ray source with a rest-frame X-ray luminosity of 1.3 ± 0.4 erg s−1.[3] The X-ray peak of the northwestern subclump coincides with the position of the BCG.[2]
