An X-ray view of Pictor A radio lobes: a spatially resolved study
G. Migliori, P. Grandi, G. C. G. Palumbo +2
A spatially resolved analysis of the lobes of the radio galaxy Pictor A has been performed for the first time starting from a 50 ksec XMM-Newton observation. Magnetic field, B_{IC}…
Compressible Turbulence in Galaxy Clusters: Physics and Stochastic Particle Re-acceleration
G. Brunetti, A. Lazarian
We attempt to explain the non-thermal emission arising from galaxy clusters as a result of the re-acceleration of electrons by compressible turbulence induced by cluster mergers. I…
Cooling Flows and Radio Mini-Halos in Clusters of Galaxies
Myriam Gitti, Gianfranco Brunetti, Giancarlo Setti +1
We apply to radio mini-halo candidates a model for electron re-acceleration in cooling flows (Gitti, Brunetti & Setti 2002). In agreement with the basic idea of the model, we find…
Anisotropic inverse Compton scattering in radio galaxies and particle energy distribution
G. Brunetti, G. Setti
In this talk we briefly review the inverse Compton (IC) scattering of nuclear photons in the lobes of radio galaxies and quasars. We concentrate on the possibility to test this mod…
Non thermal emission from galaxy clusters: radio halos
L. Feretti, G. Brunetti, G. Giovannini +2
The number of diffuse radio halos in clusters of galaxies has grown in recent years, making it possible to derive statistical properties of these sources and of the hosting cluster…
Extended X-ray emission from FRIIs and RL quasars
G. Setti, G. Brunetti, A. Comastri
We review the evidence that detectable fluxes of X-rays are produced by inverse Compton scattering of nuclear photons with the relativistic electrons in the radio lobes of strong F…
