Galaxy clusters enveloped by vast volumes of relativistic electrons

V. Cuciti, F. de Gasperin, M. Brueggen +12

The central regions of galaxy clusters are permeated by magnetic fields and filled with relativistic electrons. When clusters merge, the magnetic fields are amplified and relativis…

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey -- V. Second data release

T. W. Shimwell, M. J. Hardcastle, C. Tasse +103

In this data release from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) we present 120-168MHz images covering 27% of the northern sky. Our coverage is split into two regions centred at ap…

The Planck clusters in the LOFAR sky. I. LoTSS-DR2: new detections and sample overview

A. Botteon, T. W. Shimwell, R. Cassano +23

Relativistic electrons and magnetic fields permeate the intra-cluster medium (ICM) and manifest themselves as diffuse sources of synchrotron emission observable at radio wavelength…

The ultra-steep diffuse radio emission observed in the cool-core cluster RX J1720.1+2638 with LOFAR at 54 MHz

N. Biava, F. de Gasperin, A. Bonafede +17

Diffuse radio emission at the centre of galaxy clusters has been observed both in merging clusters on scales of Mpc, called giant radio haloes, and in relaxed systems with a cool-c…

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…

Nonthermal phenomena in the center of Abell 1775: An 800 kpc head-tail, revived fossil plasma and slingshot radio halo

A. Botteon, S. Giacintucci, F. Gastaldello +15

Thermal gas in the center of galaxy clusters can show substantial motions that generate surface-brightness and temperature discontinuities known as cold fronts. The motions may be…
