A "MeerKAT-meets-LOFAR" Study of 2A 0335+096: Discovery of a Complex 500 kpc Radio Halo in a Disturbed Cool-Core Cluster

C. J. Riseley, R. J. van Weeren, L. Lovisari +9

The emerging picture of radio haloes and mini-haloes in galaxy clusters is more blurred and far less distinct than once thought. While both trace cosmic ray electrons and magnetic…

The topology of the magnetic field in Abell 2255 out to its virial radius. Results from the LOFAR Galaxy Cluster Ultra-Deep Field

A. Botteon, R. J. van Weeren, Y. Hu +14

We present the LOFAR Galaxy Cluster Ultra-Deep Field, in which 336 h of LOFAR observations at 120168 MHz have been collected on the nearby () cluster Abell 2255. This m…

Radio Halos in Galaxy Clusters as unveiled by the SKA telescope

R. Cassano, G. Di Gennaro, V. Cuciti +24

Giant radio halos (RHs) are diffuse, Mpc-scale synchrotron sources observed in a growing fraction of galaxy clusters. They trace relativistic particles and magnetic fields in the i…

The Treble Clef radio phoenix and its old nonthermal filaments

A. Botteon, M. Brienza, K. Rajpurohit +15

By inspecting data from the LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey (LoTSS), we noticed a peculiar bright and filamentary radio source at low-galactic latitude (). This source,…

The magnetic mayhem in Abell 2199: discovery of synchrotron threads and homogeneous diffuse radio lobes

R. Timmerman, L. Rudnick, A. Botteon +2

Sensitive low-frequency radio observations have started uncovering examples of synchrotron-emitting threads, isolated from the rest of radio emission in galaxy clusters. As the bri…

Galaxy clusters in the LoTSS-DR3: Catalogues and detection pipeline for diffuse radio emission

C. Stuardi, G. Di Gennaro, A. Botteon +19

The third data release of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey provides an unprecedented view of the northern sky at 144 MHz. While compact sources can be efficiently identified with aut…
