DescriptionEnhanced image of Intracluster light in the Abell 85 galaxy cluster.jpg |
English: Image of the Abell 85 galaxy cluster, taken by the Hyper Suprime-Cam mounted on the Subaru telescope in Hawai‘i. The enhanced teal hazy overlay is intracluster light — the collective glow of innumerable stars stripped from their home galaxies and left to wander the vast intergalactic space. This ghostly glow is incredibly faint and difficult to detect, and is too faint to be seen in this image withoutthe teal overlay, but Rubin Observatory’s 10-year survey will provide scientists with the data they need to detect intracluster light in thousands of galaxy clusters, unlocking clues to the evolutionary history of the Universe on large scales. Alt text: A smattering of hundreds of galaxies of different shapes and sizes against a black background, Semi-opaque teal blobs surround and connect many of the galaxies, tracing the distribution of the countless wandering stars that make up the intracluster light. The ghostly teal glow is primarily concentrated in an irregular shape around the galaxies in the center of the image, but some larger individual galaxies off to the sides have their own separate glows.
Español: Imagen del cúmulo de galaxias Abell 85, tomada por la Hyper Suprime-Cam ubicada en el telescopio Subaru en Hawai‘i. La borrosa superposición de color verde azulado mejorada es luz intracúmulo que corresponde al brillo colectivo de innumerables estrellas expulsadas de sus galaxias de origen y abandonadas a vagar por el vasto espacio intergaláctico. Este difuso brillo es increíblemente débil y difícil de detectar, y además es muy débil en esta imagen sin la superposición verde azulada. Sin embargo, el estudio de 10 años del Observatorio Rubin proporcionará a los científicos los datos necesarios para detectar luz intracúmulo en miles de cúmulos galácticos, revelando pistas sobre la historia de la evolución del Universo a grandes escalas.
Alt text: Un puñado de cientos de galaxias con distintas formas y tamaños sobre un fondo oscuro. Algunas manchas semi opacas que rodean y conectan las galaxias, son las áreas donde se distribuyen las innumerables estrellas que forman la luz intracúmulo. El brillo fantasmal de color verde azulado se concentra principalmente en una figura irregular al centro de la imagen, pero algunas grandes galaxias individuales, ubicadas a los lados, cuentan con sus propios brillos por separado. |
