New mysteries and challenges from the Toothbrush relic: wideband observations from 550 MHz to 8 GHz
K. Rajpurohit, M. Hoeft, F. Vazza +10
Radio relics are diffuse extended synchrotron sources that originate from shock fronts induced by galaxy cluster mergers. The actual particle acceleration mechanism at the shock fr…
Polarisation of Radio Relics in Galaxy Clusters
Denis Wittor, Matthias Hoeft, Franco Vazza +2
Radio emission in the form of giant radio relics is observed at the periphery of galaxy clusters. This non-thermal emission is an important tracer for cosmic-ray electrons and intr…
A Song of Shocks and Dynamo: Numerical Studies of a Galaxy Cluster Merger in the HIMAG Project
Denis Wittor, Paola Domínguez-Fernández, Franco Vazza +1
With ENZO simulations run on the Jülich supercomputers, we have investigated the evolution of magnetic fields in the largest cosmic structures (namely galaxy clusters and filaments…
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…
