The progenitor galaxies of the intracluster light
Rebecca J. Mayes, Facundo A. Gómez, Antonela Monachesi
Intracluster Light (ICL) is a diffuse stellar component of galaxy groups and clusters, bound to the structure's potential rather than to individual galaxies and primarily formed th…
Coevolution of Intracluster Light and Brightest Cluster Galaxies
Rebecca J. Mayes, Facundo A. Gómez, Antonela Monachesi
Context. Intracluster Light (ICL) is a faint stellar component of galaxy groups and clusters bound to the cluster potential, and making up a significant fraction of the cluster mas…
The contribution of supermassive black holes in stripped nuclei to the supermassive black hole population of UCDs and galaxy clusters
Rebecca Mayes, Michael Drinkwater, Joel Pfeffer +1
We use the hydrodynamic EAGLE simulation to predict the numbers and masses of supermassive black holes in remnant nuclei of disrupted galaxies (stripped nuclei) and compare these t…
Testing the tidal stripping scenario of ultra-compact dwarf galaxy formation by using internal properties
Rebecca J. Mayes, Michael J. Drinkwater, Joel Pfeffer +5
We use the hydrodynamical EAGLE simulation to test if ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) can form by tidal stripping by predicting the ages and metallicities of tidally stripped g…
Contribution of stripped nuclei to the ultracompact dwarf galaxy population in the Virgo Cluster
Rebecca J. Mayes, Michael. J. Drinkwater, Joel Pfeffer +5
We use the hydrodynamical EAGLE simulation to predict the numbers, masses and radial distributions of tidally stripped galaxy nuclei in massive galaxy clusters, and compare these r…
