Radio Halos in Galaxy Clusters as unveiled by the SKA telescope

R. Cassano, G. Di Gennaro, V. Cuciti +24

Giant radio halos (RHs) are diffuse, Mpc-scale synchrotron sources observed in a growing fraction of galaxy clusters. They trace relativistic particles and magnetic fields in the i…

Multi-Wavelength Signatures of a Giant Cometary Radio Halo in MACSJ0417-1154

Ramananda Santra, Marco Balboni, Ruta Kale

Galaxy clusters hosting diffuse non-thermal radio emission offer direct insight into plasma processes of the intracluster medium (ICM). We present the first multi-frequency study o…

Probing High-redshift Intracluster Medium Using SKA

Ramananda Santra, Ruta Kale

Galaxy clusters host vast reservoirs of magnetised plasma in their intracluster medium (ICM), where turbulence and shocks generated during structure formation sometimes give rise t…

Probing Merger Shocks in Galaxy Clusters in the SKA Era

Arpan Pal, Ruta Kale, Gabriella Di Gennaro +8

Galaxy cluster mergers represent the most energetic phenomena in the Universe since the Big Bang releasing gravitational potential energy of erg, injecting turbul…

uGMRT and MeerKAT observation of RXCJ0232-4420: a quiet cluster with a giant radio halo

Pralay Biswas, Ramananda Santra, Ruta Kale +1

Giant radio halos are the Mpc-scale extended sources associated with the merging clusters, while the mini-halos are preferentially associated with cool-core clusters. Both trace th…

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…
