The goal of this work is to quantify and to assess the detectability of the intercluster light (ICL) due to the contribution from the outermost zones of each galaxy in Fornax, and also to quantify the surface density of globular clusters (GC's) belonging to the whole cluster of galaxies. In this way we wish to estimate the amount of GC's that may be associated with the cluster of galaxies potential.
We simulated an astronomical image of the Fornax cluster from the catalogue of Ferguson (1989, AJ, 98, 367) and the observation conditions were taken from CTIO, photometric techniques (with IRAF) were used to analyze this image.
