PSZ2 G181.06+48.47 I: X-ray exploration of a low-mass cluster with exceptionally-distant radio relics
Andra Stroe, Kamlesh Rajpurohit, Zhenlin Zhu +13
Relics are diffuse, highly-polarized radio sources that trace merger-driven shocks at the periphery of merging galaxy clusters. The LOFAR survey recently discovered a rare example…
Chandra Observations of the Spectacular A3411-12 Merger Event
Felipe Andrade-Santos, Reinout J. van Weeren, Gabriella Di Gennaro +17
We present deep Chandra observations of A3411-12, a remarkable merging cluster that hosts the most compelling evidence for electron re-acceleration at cluster shocks to date. Using…
Diffuse Radio Emission from Galaxy Clusters
R. J. van Weeren, F. de Gasperin, H. Akamatsu +5
In a growing number of galaxy clusters diffuse extended radio sources have been found. These sources are not directly associated with individual cluster galaxies. The radio emissio…
Radio observations of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 520
D. N. Hoang, T. W. Shimwell, R. J. van Weeren +13
We examine the possible acceleration mechanisms of the relativistic particles responsible for the extended radio emission in Abell 520. We used new LOFAR 145 MHz, archival GMRT 323…
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…
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…
