Revived Fossil Plasma Sources in Galaxy Clusters

S. Mandal, H. T. Intema, R. J. van Weeren +10

It is well established that particle acceleration by shocks and turbulence in the intra-cluster medium can produce cluster-scale synchrotron emitting sources. However, the detailed…

Particle re-acceleration and Faraday-complex structures in the RXC J1314.4-2515 galaxy cluster

C. Stuardi, A. Bonafede, D. Wittor +9

Radio relics are sites of electron (re)acceleration in merging galaxy clusters but the mechanism of acceleration and the topology of the magnetic field in and near relics are yet t…

Particle acceleration in a nearby galaxy cluster pair: the role of cluster dynamics

A. Botteon, R. Cassano, D. Eckert +17

Diffuse radio emission associated with the intra-cluster medium (ICM) is observed in a number of merging galaxy clusters. It is currently believed that in mergers a fraction of the…

Growth and disruption in the Lyra complex

S. Clavico, S. De Grandi, S. Ghizzardi +16

Nearby clusters of galaxies, z<0.1, are cosmic structures still under formation. Understanding the thermodynamic properties of merging clusters can provide crucial information on h…

LOFAR discovery of a radio halo in the high-redshift galaxy cluster PSZ2 G099.86+58.45

R. Cassano, A. Botteon, G. Di Gennaro +15

In this Letter, we report the discovery of a radio halo in the high-redshift galaxy cluster PSZ2 G099.86+58.45 () with the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) at 120-168 MHz. This…

Shock acceleration efficiency in radio relics

A. Botteon, G. Brunetti, D. Ryu +1

Radio relics in galaxy clusters are giant diffuse synchrotron sources powered in cluster outskirts by merger shocks. Although the relic-shock connection has been consolidated in re…
