Zooming in on radio relics -- II. How relic morphology probes density fluctuations at the edge of galaxy clusters
Joseph Whittingham, Christoph Pfrommer, Maria Werhahn +2
Gas properties in the outer intracluster medium (ICM) are not well-constrained, as traditional probes lose sensitivity at Mpc distances. We show that the morphology of radio relics…
Zooming-in on cluster radio relics -- I. How density fluctuations explain the Mach number discrepancy, microgauss magnetic fields, and spectral index variations
Joseph Whittingham, Christoph Pfrommer, Maria Werhahn +2
It is generally accepted that radio relics are the result of synchrotron emission from shock-accelerated electrons. Current models, however, are still unable to explain several asp…
Gamma-ray emission from spectrally resolved cosmic rays in galaxies
Maria Werhahn, Philipp Girichidis, Christoph Pfrommer +1
Cosmic rays (CRs) are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium (ISM) of nearby galaxies, but many of their properties are not well-constrained. Gamma-ray observations provide a powerf…
