Characterizing the radio emission from the binary galaxy cluster merger Abell 2146

D. N. Hoang, T. W. Shimwell, R. J. van Weeren +8

Collisions of galaxy clusters generate shocks and turbulence in the intra-cluster medium (ICM). The presence of relativistic particles and magnetic fields is inferred through the d…

The spectacular cluster chain Abell 781 as observed with LOFAR, GMRT, and XMM-Newton

A. Botteon, T. W. Shimwell, A. Bonafede +20

A number of merging galaxy clusters show the presence of large-scale radio emission associated with the intra-cluster medium (ICM). These synchrotron sources are generally classifi…

LOFAR MSSS: Flattening low-frequency radio continuum spectra of nearby galaxies

K. T. Chyży, W. Jurusik, J. Piotrowska +35

The shape of low-frequency radio continuum spectra of normal galaxies is not well understood, the key question being the role of physical processes such as thermal absorption in sh…

Deep Very Large Array observations of the merging cluster CIZA J2242.8+5301: continuum and spectral imaging

G. Di Gennaro, R. J. van Weeren, M. Hoeft +14

Despite progress in understanding radio relics, there are still open questions regarding the underlying particle acceleration mechanisms. In this paper we present deep 1--4 GHz VLA…

LOFAR discovery of radio emission in MACSJ0717.53745

A. Bonafede, M. Brüggen, D. Rafferty +16

We present results from LOFAR and GMRT observations of the galaxy cluster MACSJ0717.53745. The cluster is undergoing a violent merger involving at least four sub-clusters, a…

Radio observations of the double-relic galaxy cluster Abell 1240

D. N. Hoang, T. W. Shimwell, R. J. van Weeren +16

We present LOFAR MHz images of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 1240 that hosts double radio relics. In combination with the GMRT MHz and VLA GHz data, we…
