3 arcsec (10.5 kpc) fiber Typical E-gal SED
NVSS Radio Emission Detected
BCG Model
38 arcsec = 133 kpc
For A2261: 1 arcsec subtends ~3.6 kpc (h=0.7) BCG Half-light radius = 28 kpc (h=0.7)
10 kpc 30 kpc
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
