Cosmological simulations of the generation of cluster-scale radio emission from turbulent re-acceleration

Luca Beduzzi, Franco Vazza, Virginia Cuciti +3

Context. The recent discovery of so-called mega radio halos as a new class of diffuse, steep-spectrum radio sources in clusters of galaxies has raised questions about the origin an…

A multishock scenario for the formation of radio relics

David C. Smolinski, Denis Wittor, Franco Vazza +1

Radio relics are giant sources of diffuse synchrotron radio emission in the outskirts of galaxy clusters that are associated with shocks in the intracluster medium. Still, the orig…

Constraints on the magnetic field in the inter-cluster bridge A399-A401

M. Balboni, A. Bonafede, G. Bernardi +7

Galaxy cluster mergers are natural consequences of the structure formation in the Universe. Such events involve a large amount of energy ( erg) dissipated during the…

Exploring the origins of mega radio halos

L. Beduzzi, F. Vazza, G. Brunetti +3

We present a first attempt to investigate the origin of radio-emitting electrons in the newly discovered class of mega radio halos in clusters of galaxies. We study the evolution o…

A morphological analysis of the substructures in radio relics

Denis Wittor, Marcus Brüggen, Philipp Grete +1

Recent observations of radio relics - diffuse radio emission in galaxy clusters - have revealed that these sources are not smooth but consist of structures in the form of threads a…

Simulating the enrichment of fossil radio electrons by multiple radio galaxies

F. Vazza, D. Wittor, M. Brueggen +1

{We simulate the evolution of relativistic electrons injected into the intracluster medium by five radio galaxies. We study the spatial transport and the emission properties of the…
