Growth of ex situ diffuse intragroup light in simulated galaxy groups
Context. Deep surface photometry has revealed the presence of a faint and diffuse baryonic component permeating the intragroup space in a significant fraction of galaxy groups. This intragroup light (IGL) is primarily formed by stars that are removed from their host galaxies through gravitational in...

| Resumo: | Context. Deep surface photometry has revealed the presence of a faint and diffuse baryonic component permeating the intragroup space in a significant fraction of galaxy groups. This intragroup light (IGL) is primarily formed by stars that are removed from their host galaxies through gravitational interactions and now drift freely, unbound to any particular galaxy. |
