Abstract (from CDS):

Intracluster light (ICL) provides a record of the dynamical interactions undergone by clusters, giving clues on cluster formation and evolution. Here, we analyse the properties of ICL in the massive cluster Abell 2390 at redshift z = 0.228. Our analysis is based on the deep images obtained by the Euclid mission as part of the Early Release Observations in the near-infrared (YE, JE, HE bands), using the NISP instrument in a 0.75 deg2 field. We subtracted a point-spread function (PSF) model and removed the Galactic cirrus contribution in each band after modelling it with the DAWIS software. We then applied three methods to detect, characterise, and model the ICL and the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG): the CICLE 2D multi-galaxy fitting; the DAWIS wavelet-based multiscale software; and a mask-based 1D profile fitting. We detect ICL out to 600 kpc. The ICL fractions derived by our three methods range between 18% and 36% (average of 24%), while the BCG+ICL fractions are between 21% and 41% (average of 29%), depending on the band and method. A galaxy density map based on 219 selected cluster members shows a strong cluster substructure to the south-east and a smaller feature to the north-west. Ellipticals dominate the cluster's central region, with a centroid offset from the BCG by about 70 kpc and distribution following that of the ICL, while spirals do not trace the entire ICL but rather substructures. The comparison of the BCG+ICL, mass from gravitational lensing, and X-ray maps show that the BCG+ICL is the best tracer of substructures in the cluster. Based on colours, the ICL (out to about 400 kpc) seems to be built by the accretion of small systems (M∼109.5 M⊙), or from stars coming from the outskirts of Milky Way-type galaxies (M∼1010 M⊙). Though Abell 2390 does not seem to be undergoing a merger, it is not yet fully relaxed, since it has accreted two groups that have not fully merged with the cluster core. We estimate that the contributions to the inner 300 kpc of the ICL of the north-west and south-east subgroups are 21% and 9%, respectively.
