KAT-7 observations of a mass-selected sample of galaxy clusters

G. Bernardi, T. Venturi, R. Cassano +7

The presence of megaparsec-scale radio halos in galaxy clusters has already been established by many observations over the last two decades. The emerging explanation for the format…

Resolving the Extragalactic -ray Background above 50 GeV with Fermi-LAT

LAT Collaboration

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) Collaboration has recently released a catalog of 360 sources detected above 50 GeV (2FHL). This catalog was obtained using 80 months of data re…

Do radio mini-halos and gas heating in cool-core clusters have a common origin?

Luca Bravi, Myriam Gitti, Gianfranco Brunetti

In this letter we present a study of the central regions of cool-core clusters hosting radio mini-halos, which are diffuse synchrotron sources extended on cluster-scales surroundin…

Radio halos in SZ-selected clusters of galaxies: the making of a halo?

A. Bonafede, H. T. Intema, M. Brüggen +8

Radio halos are synchrotron radio sources detected in some massive galaxy clusters. Their Mpc-size indicates that (re)acceleration processes are taking place in the host cluster. X…

Using rotation measure grids to detect cosmological magnetic fields -- a Bayesian approach

V. Vacca, N. Oppermann, T. Ensslin +17

Determining magnetic field properties in different environments of the cosmic large-scale structure as well as their evolution over redshift is a fundamental step toward uncovering…

Supernova rates from the SUDARE VST-Omegacam search. I

E. Cappellaro, M. T. Botticella, G. Pignata +23

We describe the observing strategy, data reduction tools and early results of a supernova (SN) search project, named SUDARE, conducted with the ESO VST telescope aimed at measuring…

Properties of Cosmological Filaments extracted from Eulerian Simulations

Claudio Gheller, Franco Vazza, Jean Favre +1

Using a new parallel algorithm implemented within the VisIt framework, we analysed large cosmological grid simulations to study the properties of baryons in filaments. The procedur…

On the occurrence of Radio Halos in galaxy clusters - Insight from a mass-selected sample

V. Cuciti, R. Cassano, G. Brunetti +4

Giant radio halos (RH) are diffuse Mpc-scale synchrotron sources detected in a fraction of massive and merging galaxy clusters. An unbiased study of the statistical properties of R…

The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS): Reconstruction of the redshift-space galaxy density field

B. R. Granett, E. Branchini, L. Guzzo +43

Aims. Using the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) we aim to jointly estimate the key parameters that describe the galaxy density field and its spatial correlation…

The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS). Hierarchical scaling and biasing

A. Cappi, F. Marulli, J. Bel +47

We investigate the higher-order correlation properties of the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) to test the hierarchical scaling hypothesis at z~1 and the depende…

The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS): On the correct recovery of the count-in-cell probability distribution function

J. Bel, E. Branchini, C. Di Porto +45

We compare three methods to measure the count-in-cell probability density function of galaxies in a spectroscopic redshift survey. From this comparison we found that when the sampl…

The Extended GMRT Radio Halo Survey II: Further results and analysis of the full sample

R. Kale, T. Venturi, S. Giacintucci +6

The intra-cluster medium contains cosmic rays and magnetic fields that are manifested through the large scale synchrotron sources, termed as radio halos, relics and mini-halos. The…

Forecasts for the detection of the magnetised cosmic web from cosmological simulations

F. Vazza, C. Ferrari, M. Brüggen +3

The cosmic web contains a large fraction of the total gas mass in the universe but is difficult to detect at most wavelengths. Synchrotron emission from shock-accelerated electrons…

Planck 2013 results. XXIX. The Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zeldovich sources: Addendum

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +276

We update the all-sky Planck catalogue of 1227 clusters and cluster candidates (PSZ1) published in March 2013, derived from Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect detections using the first…

An improved SPH scheme for cosmological simulations

A. M. Beck, G. Murante, A. Arth +9

We present an implementation of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) with improved accuracy for simulations of galaxies and the large-scale structure. In particular, we combine, i…

Filaments of the radio cosmic web: opportunities and challenges for SKA

Franco Vazza, Chiara Ferrari, Annalisa Bonafede +4

The detection of the diffuse gas component of the cosmic web remains a formidable challenge. In this work we study synchrotron emission from the cosmic web with simulated SKA1 obse…
