The origin and properties of intracluster stars in a rich cluster
Abstract
We use a multimillion particle N‐body + smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation to follow the formation of a rich galaxy cluster in a Λ‐cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmology, with the goal of understanding the origin and properties of intracluster stars. The simulation includes gas cooling, star formation, the effects of a uniform ultraviolet background and feedback from supernovae. Haloes that host galaxies as faint as MR=−19.0 are resolved …
