In galaxy clusters, it is common to conceptually distinguish the central, brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) from the more diffuse intracluster light (ICL). So far, however, this distinction has lacked a clear physical basis, confusing both theoretical and observational studies. We address this by presenting a dynamically...

Colour provides key information to constrain the stellar population of the intracluster light (ICL), the diffuse light within galaxy clusters. We derive radial colour profiles ($Y_\mathrm{E}-H_\mathrm{E}$, $J_\mathrm{E}-H_\mathrm{E}$, $I_\mathrm{E}-H_\mathrm{E}$) of the brightest central galaxy (BCG) and ICL for 168 ga...

Intracluster light (ICL) offers a luminous route for measuring the shapes and orientations of cluster haloes. We used Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1) images to quantify ICL shapes for 205 clusters at $0.1 \leq z \leq 0.8$ selected from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey and the Dark Energy Survey. We measured the ICL properties...
