The intracluster light as an estimator of the cluster mass profile
Context. The intracluster light (ICL) comprises stars that are not bound to individual galaxies within a galaxy cluster, and it provides insights into the cluster mass distribution, evolutionary history, and dynamical state. Aims. We study the viability of the intracluster stellar mass as a proxy for computing the total mass profiles of galaxy
