Summary

Description
English: Surface brightness profile of the brightest cluster galaxy in Abell 85. The top panel presents the light emanating from that galaxy in the inner 6 kiloparsecs. The new Gemini data show a light excess, visible as a bump in the very center of the profile. In contrast, earlier observations (black) had suggested a light deficit at the core, but this is an artifact of their lower resolution.
