Evolution of the brightest cluster galaxies
In this thesis, I explore the evolution of the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) over the last 10 billion years through detailed studies of both local BCGs from SDSS and their high-z progenitors from CANDELS UDS. First, I study a large sample of local BCGs and link their morphologies to their struct...
