Unveiling the Dynamics in Galaxy Clusters: The Hidden Role of Low-Luminosity Galaxies in Coma

英文摘要

In this work, we study the Coma cluster, one of the richest and most well-known systems at low redshifts, to explore the importance of low-flux objects in the identification of cluster substructures. In addition, we conduct a study of the infall flow around Coma, considering the presence or absence of low-flux objects across the projected phase space of the cluster. Our results indicate that low-luminosity galaxies play a fundamental role in understanding the dynamical state of galaxy clusters. These galaxies, often overlooked because of their faint nature, serve as sensitive tracers of substructure dynamics and provide crucial insights into the cluster's evolutionary history. We show that not considering the low-flux objects present in clusters can lead to significant underestimates of the numbers of substructures, both in most central parts, in the infall regions, and beyond, connecting to the large-scale structure up to a distance of approximately $8 R_{200}$ from the center of Coma.
