Origin of ICL: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Conner Chen and Version 1 by Emanuele Contini.

Not all the light in galaxy groups and clusters comes from stars that are bound to galaxies. A significant fraction of it constitutes the so-called intracluster or diffuse light (ICL), a low surface brightness component of groups/clusters generally found in the surroundings of the brightest cluster galaxies and intermediate/massive satellites

  • galaxy clusters
  • galaxy formation
  • galaxy evolution
