IR survey of brightest cluster galaxies I.
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We report on an imaging survey with the Spitzer Space Telescope of 62 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) with optical line emission.
Description
These galaxies are located in the cores of X-ray luminous clusters selected from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. We find that about half of these sources have a sign of excess infrared emission; 22 objects out of 62 are detected at 70um, 18 have 8/5.8um flux ratios above 1.0 and 28 have 24/8um flux ratios above 1.0.
Altogether 35 of 62 objects in our survey exhibit at least one of these signs of infrared excess. Four galaxies with infrared excesses have a 4.5/3.6um flux ratio indicating the presence of hot dust, and/or an unresolved nucleus at 8um. Three of these have high measured [OIII](5007{AA})/H{beta} flux ratios suggesting that these four, Abell 1068, Abell 2146, Zwicky 2089, and R0821+07, host dusty active galactic nuclei (AGNs).

Nine objects (including the four hosting dusty AGNs) have infrared luminosities greater than 10^11^L_{sun}_ and so can be classified as luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs). Excluding the four systems hosting dusty AGNs, the excess mid-infrared emission in the remaining brightest cluster galaxies is likely related to star formation.
