A giant radio halo in the massive and merging cluster Abell 1351
S. Giacintucci, T. Venturi, R. Cassano +2
We report on the detection of diffuse radio emission in the X-ray luminous and massive galaxy cluster A1351 (z=0.322) using archival Very Large Array data at 1.4 GHz. Given its cen…
On the evolution of giant radio halos and their connection with cluster mergers
G. Brunetti, R. Cassano, K. Dolag +1
Giant radio halos are diffuse, Mpc-scale, synchrotron sources located in the central regions of galaxy clusters and provide the most relevant example of cluster non-thermal activit…
Testing the radio halo-cluster merger scenario. The case of RXCJ2003.5-2323
S. Giacintucci, T. Venturi, G. Brunetti +5
We present a combined radio, X-ray and optical study of the galaxy cluster RXCJ2003.5-2323. The cluster hosts one of the largest, most powerful and distant giant radio halos known…
Deep 1.4 GHZ Follow Up of the Steep Spectrum Radio Halo in Abell 521
D. Dallacasa, G. Brunetti, S. Giacintucci +6
In a recent paper we reported on the discovery of a radio halo with very steep spectrum in the merging galaxy cluster Abell 521 through observations with the Giant Metrewave Radio…
The GMRT Radio Halo Survey and low frequency follow-up
T. Venturi, S. Giacintucci, R. Cassano +6
The GMRT Radio Halo Survey, carried out at 610 MHz to investigate the statistical properties of cluster radio halos in a complete cluster sample selected in the redshift interval z…
High energy emission from galaxy clusters and particle acceleration due to MHD turbulence
G. Brunetti, P. Blasi, R. Cassano +1
In the next years the FERMI gamma ray telescope and the Cherenkov telescopes will put very stringent constraints to models of gamma ray emission from galaxy clusters providing cruc…
