Galaxy cluster outskirts from the thermal SZ and non-thermal synchrotron link
Kaustuv Basu, Jens Erler, Martin Sommer +2
Galaxy cluster merger shocks are the main agent for the thermalization of the intracluster medium and the energization of cosmic ray particles in it. Shock propagation changes the…

ALMA-SZ Detection of a Galaxy Cluster Merger Shock at Half the Age of the Universe
Kaustuv Basu, Martin Sommer, Jens Erler +5
We present ALMA measurements of a merger shock using the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect signal, at the location of a radio relic in the famous El Gordo galaxy cluster at $z…

Evidence for a pressure discontinuity at the position of the Coma relic from Planck Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect data
Jens Erler, Kaustuv Basu, Monica Trasatti +2
Radio relics are Mpc-scale diffuse synchrotron sources found in galaxy cluster outskirts. They are believed to be associated with large-scale shocks propagating through the intra-c…
