Caption: Fig. 2.

Each row shows one BCG. From left to right are shown the IRAC Band 1 (3.6 μm), the IRAC Band 4 (8 μm) and the MIPS Band 1 (24 μm) images. The rightmost image shows a color map made from dividing sky subtracted IRAC Band 1 and 4 images in the same region. The region shown is ﹩2^{\prime }\times 2^{\prime }﹩, and approximately centered on the BCG. The color map is on a linear not log gray‐scale. Images that contain strong point sources at 24 μm sometimes exhibit diffraction rings and spikes (e.g., A1068 and A1664). Linear features in the images of PKS 0745−19, R0338+09, and Z8193 are due to spikes caused by bright nearby stars.
