Title: GMOS IFU spectroscopy of brightest cluster galaxies in cooling flows

Co-author: Alastair Edge, Richard Wilman

Co-authors' Institutions: Durham University, University of Oxford

Abstract:

We have used GMOS IFU to study five extremely, optically line luminous brightest cluster galaxies in the cores of strong cooling flows. These spectra give strong constraints on dynamics and excitation of these enigmatic objects.
