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…
