Deep view of Abell 3667 illuminates the past of a galaxy cluster and the future of astronomical imaging
Galaxy clusters are among the largest structures in our universe, consisting of hundreds or thousands of galaxies that have become gravitationally bound together over billions of years. Astrophysicists have long been eager to understand the formation of these imposing structures. The histories of galaxy clusters not only help us understand how the universe formed, but they also provide constraints on the properties of dark matter—an invisible ma…
Decam Reveals Hidden Cluster Light in Galaxy Cluster Abell 3667
The glow within the cluster is the soft luminosity of stars that have been stripped from their galaxy amidst the layers of galaxy clusters. Abell 3667 is depicted in this Decam image.
