Biggest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) are important objects in cosmology due to their ability to distort spacetime and affect observations of all galaxies surrounding them. Finding a relationship between the brightness and shape metrics of the BCGs and its mass would allow us to skip intensive computations previously used to determine BCG masses.
