Measuring cavity powers of active galactic nuclei in clusters using a hybrid X-ray-radio method -- A new window on feedback opened by subarcsecond LOFAR-VLBI observations

R. Timmerman, R. J. van Weeren, A. Botteon +5

Measurements of the quantity of radio-mode feedback injected by an active galactic nucleus into the cluster environment have mostly relied on X-ray observations, which reveal cavit…

A LOFAR view into the stormy environment of the galaxy cluster 2A0335+096

A. Ignesti, G. Brunetti, T. Shimwell +10

Radio observations represent a powerful probe of the physics occurring in the intracluster medium (ICM) because they trace the relativistic cosmic rays in the cluster magnetic fiel…

Particle acceleration in a nearby galaxy cluster pair: the role of cluster dynamics

A. Botteon, R. Cassano, D. Eckert +17

Diffuse radio emission associated with the intra-cluster medium (ICM) is observed in a number of merging galaxy clusters. It is currently believed that in mergers a fraction of the…

A Massive Cluster at z = 0.288 Caught in the Process of Formation: The Case of Abell 959

L. Bîrzan, D. A. Rafferty, R. Cassano +9

The largest galaxy clusters are observed still to be forming through major cluster-cluster mergers, often showing observational signatures such as radio relics and giant radio halo…

A LOFAR study of non-merging massive galaxy clusters

Federica Savini, Annalisa Bonafede, Marcus Brueggen +15

Centrally located diffuse radio emission has been observed in both merging and non-merging galaxy clusters. Depending on their morphology and size, we distinguish between giant rad…

Search for low-frequency diffuse radio emission around a shock in the massive galaxy cluster MACS J0744.9+3927

Amanda Wilber, Marcus Brüggen, Annalisa Bonafede +11

Merging galaxy clusters produce low Mach number shocks in the intracluster medium. These shocks can accelerate electrons to relativistic energies that are detectable at radio frequ…
