Abstract:

We present a pilot study on the origin and assembly history of the ICL for four galaxy clusters at 0.440.2 L* and that neither dwarf disruption nor major mergers with the BCG alone can explain the observed level of luminosity and remain consistent with either the observed evolution in the faint end slope of the luminosity function or predictions for the number of BCG major mergers since z=1. Taken together, the results of this pilot study are suggestive of a formation history for these clusters in which the ICL is built-up by the stripping of >0.2 L* galaxies, and disfavor significant contribution to the ICL by dwarf disruption or major mergers with the BCG.
