Intracluster light and dark matter halo shapes reflect common assembly, not mutual coupling: shape correspondence in CDM but not SIDM
G. Martin, N. A. Hatch, W. Cui +8
The intracluster light (ICL) has been proposed as a luminous tracer of the dark matter (DM) halo shape in galaxy clusters, with recent observational studies and CDM simulations…
A Consistent Comparison of Intracluster Light Assembly in Simulations I. Redshift Evolution and Progenitor Galaxies
Harley J. Brown, Garreth Martin, Frazer R. Pearce +5
The tidal stripping of satellite galaxies and the stellar detritus ejected during galaxy mergers builds up a diffuse stellar component in galaxy clusters known as the intracluster…
Intracluster light as a dark matter tracer: how their spatial and kinematic relationship is shaped by satellite demographics
G Martin, F R Pearce, N A Hatch +6
We investigate how the orbital evolution and mass distribution of infalling satellite galaxies shape the phase-space and radial distributions of intracluster light (ICL) relative t…
Intracluster light is a close tracer of the dark matter halo shape
Adela Fernandez, Yannick Bahé, Nina Hatch +4
We investigate whether the intracluster light (ICL) can serve as a reliable tracer of the shape of the underlying dark matter (DM) haloes in galaxy clusters. Using the cosmological…
Intracluster light is a biased tracer of the dark matter distribution in clusters
J. Butler, G. Martin, N. A. Hatch +3
The diffuse stellar component of galaxy clusters known as intracluster light (ICL) has been proposed as an observable tracer of the cluster's dark matter (DM) halo. Assessing its r…
