On the Origin and Evolution of the Intra-Cluster Light: A Brief Review of the Most Recent Developments
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...
