Deep Chandra observations of PLCKG287.0+32.9: a clear detection of a shock front in a heated former cool core

M. Gitti, A. Bonafede, F. Brighenti +9

The massive, hot galaxy cluster PSZ2 G286.98+32.90 (hereafter PLCKG287, z=0.383) hosts a giant radio halo and two prominent radio relics which are signs of a disturbed dynamical st…

A LOFAR-uGMRT spectral index study of distant radio halos

G. Di Gennaro, R. J. van Weeren, R. Cassano +9

Context. Radio halos are megaparsec-scale diffuse radio sources{ mostly} located at the centres of merging galaxy clusters. The common mechanism invoked to explain their origin is…

A merger mystery: no extended radio emission in the merging cluster Abell 2146

H. R. Russell, R. J. van Weeren, A. C. Edge +7

We present a new 400ks Chandra X-ray observation and a GMRT radio observation at 325MHz of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 2146. The Chandra observation reveals detailed structure…

A deep radio and X-ray view of cluster formation at the crossroads of filaments

J. Bagchi, R. J. van Weeren, S. Raychaudhury +6

Deep X-ray data from CHANDRA and XMM-Newton, and GMRT radio data are presented for ZwCl 2341.1+0000, an extremely unusual and complex merging cluster of galaxies at the intersectio…

Radio observations of ZwCl 2341.1+0000: a double radio relic cluster

R. J. van Weeren, H. J. A. Rottgering, J. Bagchi +6

Context: Hierarchal models of large scale structure (LSS) formation predict that galaxy clusters grow via gravitational infall and mergers of (smaller) mass concentrations, such as…
