The discovery of diffuse steep spectrum sources in Abell 2256
R. J. van Weeren, H. T. Intema, J. B. R. Oonk +2
Context: Hierarchical galaxy formation models indicate that during their lifetime galaxy clusters undergo several mergers. Here we report on the discovery of three diffuse radio so…
A search for steep spectrum radio relics and halos with the GMRT
R. J. van Weeren, H. J. A. Rottgering, M. Bruggen +1
Context: Diffuse radio emission, in the form of radio halos and relics, traces regions in clusters with shocks or turbulence, probably produced by cluster mergers. Some models of d…
Diffuse radio emission in the merging cluster MACS J0717.5+3745: the discovery of the most powerful radio halo
R. J. van Weeren, H. J. A. Rottgering, M. Bruggen +1
Hierarchical models of structure formation predict that galaxy clusters grow via mergers of smaller clusters and galaxy groups, as well as through continuous accretion of gas. MACS…
