The faint light in groups and clusters of galaxies

M Montes - Nature Astronomy, 2022 - nature.com
The diffuse light that spreads through groups and clusters of galaxies is made of free-floating
stars not bound to any galaxy. This is known as the intracluster light (ICL) and holds …

On the origin and evolution of the intra-cluster light: a brief review of the most recent developments

E Contini - Galaxies, 2021 - mdpi.com
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 …
