CHEX-MATE: X-ray surface brightness discontinuities across a representative cluster sample

Maria Giulia Campitiello, Stefano Ettori, Lorenzo Lovisari +20

We analyze the presence of X-ray surface brightness (SB) discontinuities, such as shocks and cold fronts, in the intracluster medium (ICM) of the 116 galaxy clusters from the CHEX-…

SKAO and Gamma-Ray Synergies

Gianluca Castignani, Gavin Rowell, Arnau Aguasca-Cabot +26

A wide variety of Galactic and extragalactic sources are known to emitradiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including both transient and steady-state phenomena. A f…

LOFAR non-detections of SN 2023ixf in its first year post-explosion

R. Timmerman, M. Arias, A. Botteon

We used the LOFAR telescope to monitor SN 2023ixf, a core-collapse supernova in M101, between 8 and 368 days post-explosion. We report non-detections down to ~80 μJy sensitivity at…

Black hole jets on the scale of the Cosmic Web

Martijn S. S. L. Oei, Martin J. Hardcastle, Roland Timmerman +10

Jets launched by supermassive black holes transport relativistic leptons, magnetic fields, and atomic nuclei from the centres of galaxies to their outskirts and beyond. These outfl…

Radio U-Net: a convolutional neural network to detect diffuse radio sources in galaxy clusters and beyond

Chiara Stuardi, Claudio Gheller, Franco Vazza +1

The forthcoming generation of radio telescope arrays promises significant advancements in sensitivity and resolution, enabling the identification and characterization of many new f…

The seeding of cosmic ray electrons by cluster radio galaxies: a review

Franco Vazza, Andrea Botteon

Radio galaxies in clusters of galaxies are prominent reservoirs of magnetic fields and of non-thermal particles, which get mixed with the intracluster medium. We review the observa…

The most giant radio structures in the Universe

Andrea Botteon

One of the exciting results of the last years concerning the study of the large-scale structure is the discovery of long (3-5 Mpc) bridges of radio emission connecting pairs of int…

Particle re-acceleration and Faraday-complex structures in the RXC J1314.4-2515 galaxy cluster

C. Stuardi, A. Bonafede, D. Wittor +9

Radio relics are sites of electron (re)acceleration in merging galaxy clusters but the mechanism of acceleration and the topology of the magnetic field in and near relics are yet t…

LOFAR discovery of radio emission in MACSJ0717.53745

A. Bonafede, M. Brüggen, D. Rafferty +16

We present results from LOFAR and GMRT observations of the galaxy cluster MACSJ0717.53745. The cluster is undergoing a violent merger involving at least four sub-clusters, a…
