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 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…
