Resumen

We revisit the longstanding question of whether first brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are statistically drawn from the same distribution as other cluster galaxies or are 'special', using the new non-parametric, empirically based, model presented in Vale & Ostriker for associating galaxy luminosity with halo/subhalo masses.
