The nature of filamentary cold gas in the core of the Virgo Cluster
N. Werner, J. B. R. Oonk, R. E. A. Canning +10
We present a multi-wavelength study of the emission-line nebulae located southeast of the nucleus of M87, the central dominant galaxy of the Virgo Cluster. We report the detection…
M87 at metre wavelengths: the LOFAR picture
F. de Gasperin, E. Orru', M. Murgia +92
M87 is a giant elliptical galaxy located in the centre of the Virgo cluster, which harbours a supermassive black hole of mass 6.4x10^9 M_sun, whose activity is responsible for the…
First LOFAR results on galaxy clusters
C. Ferrari, I. van Bemmel, A. Bonafede +21
Deep radio observations of galaxy clusters have revealed the existence of diffuse radio sources related to the presence of relativistic electrons and weak magnetic fields in the in…
X-ray observations of the merging cluster CIZA J2242.8+5301
G. A. Ogrean, M. Brüggen, A. Simionescu +4
Multiwavelength studies of radio relics at merger shocks set powerful constraints on the relics origin and formation mechanism. However, for X-ray observations, a main difficulty i…
The "toothbrush-relic": evidence for a coherent linear 2-Mpc scale shock wave in a massive merging galaxy cluster?
R. J. van Weeren, H. J. A. Rottgering, H. T. Intema +4
Some merging galaxy clusters host diffuse extended radio emission, so-called radio halos and relics. Here we present observations between 147 MHz and 4.9 GHz of a new radio-selecte…
Simulating the Toothbrush: Evidence for a triple merger of galaxy clusters
M. Bruggen, R. J. van Weeren, H. J. A. Rottgering
The newly discovered galaxy cluster 1RXS J0603.3+4214 hosts a 1.9 Mpc long, bright radio relic with a peculiar linear morphology. Using hydrodynamical +N-body AMR simulations of th…
