[Astro] Lunch talk

[Michael Anderson Jennings]

Hi everyone,

This weeks lunch talk will be given by Joe. In A113 on Thursday at 1pm. Title and abstract are below:


Energetics of Intracluster Light and Dark Matter



The diffuse stellar component of galaxy clusters known as intracluster light (ICL) has been proposed as an observable tracer of the cluster’s dark matter (DM) halo. Investigating its energetics is essential for understanding how intracluster stars are dynamically linked to the underlying DM distribution and, consequently, assessing the reliability of the ICL as a DM tracer. In this talk, I will outline how the orbital properties of the intracluster stars differ from both the DM and galaxy population, and propose a possible mechanism to explain these differences.


Thanks,

Mikey
