The ultra-deep multiwavelength Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields coverage of the Abell Cluster 2744 is used to derive the stellar population properties of...
Intracluster light in the Virgo cluster: large scale distribution
Aims: The intracluster light (ICL) is a faint diffuse stellar component of clusters made of stars that are not bound to individual galaxies. We have carried out...
Intracluster light: a luminous tracer for dark matter in clusters of galaxies
The bulk of stars in galaxy clusters are confined within their constituent galaxies. Those stars do not trace the extended distribution of dark matter well as...
Intracluster Planetary Nebulae in Virgo: Photometric Selection, Spectroscopic Validation, and Cluster Depth
We have imaged an empty area of 34×34 arcmin2 1.5d north of the Virgo Cluster core to survey for intracluster planetary nebula (PN) candidates. We have...
We have investigated the properties of the diffuse light in the Virgo Cluster core region, based on the detection of intracluster planetary nebulae (PNs) in...
Intracluster Stellar Population Properties from N-Body Cosmological Simulations. I. Constraints at z = 0
We use a high-resolution collisionless simulation of a Virgo-like cluster in a ΛCDM cosmology to determine the velocity and clustering properties of the diffuse...
Intrinsic and observed dual AGN fractions from major mergers
A suite of 432 collisionless simulations of bound pairs of spiral galaxies with mass ratios 1:1 and 3:1, and global properties consistent with the ΛCDM paradigm...
Intrinsic Colors and Ages of Extremely Red Elliptical Galaxies at High Redshift
In order to know the formation epoch of the oldest elliptical galaxies as a function of mass and observed redshift, a statistical analysis of 333 extremely red...
Introducing the LBT Imaging of Galactic Halos and Tidal Structures (LIGHTS) survey. A preview of the low surface brightness Universe to be unveiled by LSST
We present the first results of the LBT Imaging of Galaxy Haloes and Tidal Structures (LIGHTS) survey. LIGHTS is an ongoing observational campaign with the 2 ×...
