The widest-frequency radio relic spectra: observations from 150 MHz to 30 GHz

Andra Stroe, Timothy Shimwell, Clare Rumsey +9

Radio relics are patches of diffuse synchrotron radio emission that trace shock waves. Relics are thought to form when intra-cluster medium electrons are accelerated by cluster mer…

MC^2: Mapping the Dark Matter Distribution of the "Toothbrush" Cluster RX J0603.3+4214 with Hubble Space Telescope and Subaru Weak-lensing

M. James Jee, William A. Dawson, Andra Stroe +5

The galaxy cluster RX J0603.3+4214 at z=0.225 is one of the rarest clusters boasting an extremely large (~2 Mpc) radio-relic. Because of the remarkable morphology of the relic, the…
