Turbulence and Particle Acceleration in Giant Radio Haloes: the Origin of Seed Electrons

Anders Pinzke, S. Peng Oh, Christoph Pfrommer

About 1/3 of X-ray-luminous clusters show smooth, Mpc-scale radio emission, known as giant radio haloes. One promising model for radio haloes is Fermi-II acceleration of seed relat…

Deep observation of the NGC 1275 region with MAGIC: search of diffuse gamma-ray emission from cosmic rays in the Perseus cluster

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +154

Clusters of galaxies are expected to be reservoirs of cosmic rays (CRs) that should produce diffuse gamma-ray emission due to their hadronic interactions with the intra-cluster med…

Constraints on the cosmic ray cluster physics from a very deep observation of the Perseus cluster with MAGIC

Pierre Colin, Fabio Zandanel, Monica Vazquez Acosta +3

Galaxy clusters are the largest and most massive gravitationally bound structures known in the Universe. Cosmic-Ray (CR) hadrons accelerated at structure formation shocks and injec…

Turbulence and Particle Acceleration in Giant Radio Halos: the Origin of Seed Electrons

Anders Pinzke, S. Peng Oh, Christoph Pfrommer

About 1/3 of X-ray-luminous clusters show smooth, unpolarized radio emission on ~Mpc scales, known as giant radio halos. One promising model for radio halos is Fermi-II acceleratio…

MAGIC Gamma-ray Observations of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster

Fabio Zandanel, Pierre Colin, Saverio Lombardi +6

In order to detect the gamma-ray emission from cosmic ray (CR) interactions with the intra-cluster medium, the ground-based imaging Cherenkov telescope MAGIC conducted the deepest-…

Giant radio relics in galaxy clusters: reacceleration of fossil relativistic electrons?

Anders Pinzke, S. Peng Oh, Christoph Pfrommer

Many bright radio relics in the outskirts of galaxy clusters have low inferred Mach numbers, defying expectations from shock acceleration theory and heliospheric observations that…
