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…
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…
Polarized accretion shocks from the cosmic web
Tessa Vernstrom, Jennifer West, Franco Vazza +3
On the largest scales, galaxies are pulled together by gravity to form clusters, which are connected by filaments making a web-like pattern. Radio emission is predicted from this c…
Spectral study of the diffuse synchrotron source in the galaxy cluster Abell 523
Valentina Vacca, Timothy Shimwell, Richard A. Perley +26
The galaxy cluster Abell 523 (A523) hosts an extended diffuse synchrotron source historically classified as a radio halo. Its radio power at 1.4 GHz makes it one of the most signif…
On the Polarisation of Radio Relics
Matthias Hoeft, Kamlesh Rajpurohit, Denis Wittor +2
Radio relics are extended radio emission features which trace shock waves in the periphery of galaxy clusters originating from cluster mergers. Some radio relics show a highly pola…
