Title: A search for tidal features around stellar systems in nearby galaxy clusters

Abstract:
Based on deep wide-field-imaging data, we search for tidal features around the most diffuse and 
the most compact low-mass galaxies in the centers of the Perseus and the Fornax galaxy 
clusters. In Perseus we investigate faint dwarf galaxies to probe whether they are currently 
getting disrupted by the cluster potential or being protected by large amounts of dark matter. In 
Fornax we examine UCDs for signs of being remnants of disrupted dwarf galaxies. Within the 
dwarf galaxy population of the Perseus cluster, we find one galaxy with tidal tails and others 
with possible signs for tidal disturbances. In the Fornax cluster, we do not find diffuse tidal 
debris around UCDs, but some of them have large radii. We interpret our results in the light of 
the timescales and frequency of disruption events as predicted from simulations.
