The dynamics of the Anglerfish cluster

B. Destefanis, M. Balboni, I. Bartalucci +8

Merging galaxy clusters represent the ideal laboratory to test our understanding of the large scale structure formation history and the processes involved. While many merging clust…

CHEX-MATE: New detections and properties of the radio diffuse emission in massive clusters with MeerKAT

M. Balboni, F. Gastaldello, A. Bonafede +18

Modern radio telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of non-thermal phenomena in galaxy clusters, collecting large samples of extended sources with unprecedented sensitivi…

In medio stat virtus: enrichment history in poor galaxy clusters

G. Riva, S. Ghizzardi, S. Molendi +6

The enrichment history of galaxy clusters and groups remains far from being fully understood. Recent measurements in massive clusters have revealed remarkably flat iron abundance p…

Understanding entropy in massive halos: The role of baryon decoupling

S. Molendi, M. Balboni, I. Bartalucci +8

The goal of the work presented in this paper is to use observed entropy profiles to infer constraints on the accretion process in massive halos. We compare entropy profiles from va…

CHEX-MATE: Scaling relations of radio halo profiles for clusters in the LoTSS DR2 area

M. Balboni, S. Ettori, F. Gastaldello +21

The thermal and non-thermal components in galaxy clusters have properties that, although shaped from different physical phenomena, can share some similarities, mainly driven by the…

Unveiling the origin of XMM-Newton soft proton flares II. Systematics in the proton spectral analysis

T. Mineo, V. Fioretti, S. Lotti +7

Low-energy protons entering the field of view of the XMM-Newton telescope scatter with the X-ray mirror surface and might reach the X-ray detectors on the focal plane. They manifes…
