bound together in a satellite galaxy. Overall, about half of the stars in A end up in the BCG, while the other half be- comes part of the ICL. For object B, only about ∼ 10% of the stars are stripped and become intracluster stars. 

We have shown in Fig. 13 that the fraction of stars that gets stripped from an infalling galaxy depends on the galaxy’s mass. However, it also depends on the orbit of the 

galaxy. This is illustrated in Fig. 16, which shows the frac- tion of stars that at z = 0 are still bound to a satellite galaxy as a function of the minimum distance of the galaxy’s or- bit from the cluster centre. The fractions are shown for all galaxies that fell into the progenitor of a 3 × 10 $^{14}$h − $^{1}$M ⊙ cluster between redshifts z = 1 . 5 and z = 1. In order to de- termine the minimum distance, the orbit of the galaxy and
