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…

Intra-Cluster Light as a Dynamical Clock for Galaxy Clusters: Insights from the MAGNETICUM, IllustrisTNG, Hydrangea and Horizon-AGN Simulations
Lucas C. Kimmig, Sarah Brough, Klaus Dolag +19
As the most massive nodes of the cosmic web, galaxy clusters represent the best probes of structure formation. Over time, they grow by accreting and disrupting satellite galaxies,…
