Inferring the dark matter distribution of massive galaxy clusters from deep optical observations: insights from the TNG300 simulation

Aditya Manuwal, Vladimir Avila-Reese, Daniel Montenegro-Taborda +2

Extragalactic stars within galaxy clusters contribute to the intracluster light (ICL), which is thought to be a promising tracer of the underlying dark matter (DM) distribution. In…

Photometric analysis of the intracluster light in the TNG300 simulation and wide-field observations

Daniel Montenegro-Taborda, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Vladimir Avila-Reese +5

We present a robust, apples-to-apples comparison between the photometric properties of the intracluster light (ICL) in the TNG300 magnetohydrodynamic cosmological simulation and th…

The stellar mass composition of galaxy clusters and dependencies on dark matter halo properties

Daniel Montenegro-Taborda, Vladimir Avila-Reese, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez +2

We analyze 700 clusters from the TNG300 hydrodynamical simulation ( at (z=0)) to examine the radial stellar mass distribution of their centra…

The growth of brightest cluster galaxies in the TNG300 simulation:dissecting the contributions from mergers and in situ star formation

Daniel Montenegro-Taborda, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Annalisa Pillepich +4

We investigate the formation of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in the TNG300 cosmological simulation of the IllustrisTNG project. Our cluster sample consists of 700 haloes with…
