Intrinsic alignments in redMaPPer clusters – I. Central galaxy alignments and angular segregation of satellites

The shapes of cluster central galaxies are not randomly oriented, but rather exhibit coherent alignments with the shapes of their parent clusters as well as with the surrounding large-scale structures. In this work, we aim to identify the galaxy and cluster quantities that most strongly predict the...
