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…

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…
