Galactic Hubs: New Insights and SKA View of AGN Feedback in Galaxy Groups
T. Pasini, M. Brienza, C. J. Riseley
Over the last two decades, significant effort has been devoted to understand the physical processes involved in galaxy evolution. In this context, AGN feedback has emerged as the l…
Single- and double-headed odd radio circles in the LOFAR surveys
F. De Gasperin, M. Brüggen, T. Pasini +7
Deep radio surveys are now producing catalogs with millions of radio sources. Radio sources can have complex morphologies that depend on both the production mechanisms and the loca…
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey: VII. Third Data Release

We present the third data release of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS-DR3). The survey images cover 88% of the northern sky and were created from 12,950 hrs of data (18.6 PB)…
XGAP with uGMRT I: Old AGN plasma in merging galaxy groups
R. Santra, R. Kale, K. Kolokythas +10
Galaxy groups are affected by outflows from central Active Galactic Nuclei due to the shallower gravitational potential compared to galaxy clusters. The group binding energy is com…
The life of central radio galaxies in clusters: AGN-ICM studies of eRASS1 clusters in the ASKAP fields
Angie Veronica, Thomas H. Reiprich, Florian Pacaud +35
The mechanical feedback from the central AGNs can be crucial for balancing the radiative cooling of the intracluster medium at the cluster centre. We aim to understand the relation…
Resurging from the ashes: A spectral study of seven candidate revived radio fossils in nearby low-mass galaxy clusters
L. Bruno, A. Botteon, D. Dallacasa +17
Complex energy transfer processes in the intracluster medium (ICM) can revive fossil (with spectral ages Myr) plasma initially generated by radio galaxies. This leads to t…
Extreme AGN feedback in the fossil galaxy group SDSSTG 4436
D. Eckert, F. Gastaldello, L. Lovisari +20
Supermassive black hole feedback is the currently favoured mechanism to regulate the star formation rate of galaxies and prevent the formation of ultra-massive galaxies ($M_\star>1…
A view of the CIZA J2242.8+5301 galaxy cluster at very low radio frequencies
G. Lusetti, M. Brüggen, H. W. Edler +9
The galaxy cluster CIZA J2242.8+5301 is a well-studied merging galaxy cluster that hosts prominent double radio relics including the famous sausage relic, as well as other diffuse…
The low-frequency flattening of the radio spectrum of giant HII regions in M 101
L. Gajović, V. Heesen, M. Brüggen +10
In galaxies, the flattening of the spectrum at low radio frequencies below 300 MHz has been the subject of some debate. A turnover at low frequencies could be caused by multiple ph…
Non-thermal emission in galaxy groups at extremely low frequency: the case of A1213
T. Pasini, V. H. Mahatma, M. Brienza +7
Galaxy clusters and groups are the last link in the chain of hierarchical structure formation. Their environments can be significantly affected by outbursts from AGN, especially in…
Cosmic dance in the Shapley Concentration Core II. The uGMRT-MeerKAT view of filaments in the brightest cluster galaxies and tailed radio galaxies in the A3528 cluster complex
G. Di Gennaro, T. Venturi, S. Giacintucci +12
Superclusters are the largest-scale environments where a number of galaxy clusters interact with each other through minor/major mergers and grow via accretion along cosmic filament…
Ultra-low frequency LOFAR spectral indices of cluster radio halos
T. Pasini, F. de Gasperin, M. Brüggen +11
A fraction of galaxy clusters harbor diffuse radio sources known as radio halos. The currently adopted scenario for their formation is based on second-order Fermi re-acceleration o…
ViCTORIA project: The LOFAR-MeerKAT view of AGN in Virgo cluster early-type galaxies
A. Spasic, H. W. Edler, Y. Su +8
The evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is closely connected to their host galaxies and surroundings. Via feedback processes, AGN can counteract the cooling of the intraclust…
Abell 0399-Abell 0401 radio bridge spectral index: the first multifrequency detection
G. V. Pignataro, A. Bonafede, G. Bernardi +12
Recent low-frequency radio observations at 140 MHz discovered a 3 Mpc-long bridge of diffuse emission connecting the galaxy clusters Abell 0399 and Abell 0401. We present follow-up…
The LOFAR-eFEDS survey: The incidence of radio and X-ray AGN and the disk-jet connection
Z. Igo, A. Merloni, D. Hoang +15
Radio jets are present in a diverse sample of AGN. However, the mechanisms of jet powering are not fully understood, and it is yet unclear to what extent they obey mass-invariant s…
