Two-component large-scale radio emission in Abell 2244

M. Cianfaglione, F. De Gasperin, V. Cuciti +9

Context. In recent years, clusters have been observed that host multi-component haloes, both in non-merging and merging systems. The existence of these multi-component haloes sugge…

The LOFAR sub-arcsecond view of the high-redshift radio relic in PSZ2G091.83+26.11

G. Di Gennaro, R. Timmerman, M. Hoeft +14

Enhanced inverse Compton (IC) losses at high redshift steepen diffuse radio spectra in galaxy clusters, making low-frequency (~100 MHz) observations favorable. However, low-frequen…

Ram-pressure stripped radio tails detected in the dynamically active environment of the Shapley Supercluster

P. Merluzzi, T. Venturi, G. Busarello +13

We study the radio continuum emission of four galaxies experiencing ram-pressure stripping in four clusters of the Shapley supercluster at redshift z~0.05. Multi-band (235-1367 MHz…

Ultra-low frequency LOFAR spectral indices of cluster radio halos

T. Pasini, F. de Gasperin, M. Brüggen +11

A fraction of galaxy clusters harbor diffuse radio sources known as radio halos. The currently adopted scenario for their formation is based on second-order Fermi re-acceleration o…

A search for inter-cluster filaments with LOFAR and eROSITA

D. N. Hoang, M. Brüggen, T. W. Shimwell +13

Cosmological simulations predict the presence of warm hot thermal gas in the cosmic filaments that connect galaxy clusters. This gas is thought to constitute an important part of t…
