Magnetic fields and relativistic electrons fill entire galaxy cluster

A. Botteon, R. J. van Weeren, G. Brunetti +12

The hot plasma within merging galaxy clusters is predicted to be filled with shocks and turbulence that may convert part of their kinetic energy into relativistic electrons and mag…

The Planck clusters in the LOFAR sky. III. LoTSS-DR2: Dynamic states and density fluctuations of the intracluster medium

X. Zhang, A. Simionescu, F. Gastaldello +19

The footprint of LoTSS-DR2 covers 309 PSZ2 galaxy clusters, 83 of which host a radio halo and 26 host a radio relic(s). It provides us an excellent opportunity to statistically stu…

A deep study of A399-401: An application for wide-field facet calibration

J. M. G. H. J. de Jong, R. J. van Weeren, A. Botteon +6

We examine the particle acceleration mechanism in the Mpc-scale bridge between Abell 399 and Abell 401 and assess in particular if the synchrotron emission originates from first-or…

Galaxy clusters enveloped by vast volumes of relativistic electrons

V. Cuciti, F. de Gasperin, M. Brueggen +12

The central regions of galaxy clusters are permeated by magnetic fields and filled with relativistic electrons. When clusters merge, the magnetic fields are amplified and relativis…

Abell 1033: Radio halo and gently reenergized tail at 54 MHz

H. W. Edler, F. de Gasperin, G. Brunetti +7

Abell 1033 is a merging galaxy cluster of moderate mass (). It hosts a broad variety of diffuse radio sources linked to different astroph…

Diffuse radio emission from non-Planck galaxy clusters in the LoTSS-DR2 fields

D. N. Hoang, M. Brüggen, A. Botteon +17

The presence of large-scale magnetic fields and ultra-relativistic electrons in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) is confirmed through the detection of diffuse radio synchrotron sourc…
