Chandra observations of dying radio sources in galaxy clusters

M. Murgia, M. Markevitch, F. Govoni +4

The dying radio sources represent a very interesting and largely unexplored stage of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) evolution. They are considered to be very rare, and almost al…

M87 at metre wavelengths: the LOFAR picture

F. de Gasperin, E. Orru', M. Murgia +92

M87 is a giant elliptical galaxy located in the centre of the Virgo cluster, which harbours a supermassive black hole of mass 6.4x10^9 M_sun, whose activity is responsible for the…

Comparisons of Cosmological MHD Galaxy Cluster Simulations to Radio Observations

Hao Xu, Federica Govoni, Matteo Murgia +6

Radio observations of galaxy clusters show that there are G magnetic fields permeating the intra-cluster medium (ICM), but it is hard to accurately constrain the strength and st…

Detection of diffuse radio emission in the galaxy clusters A800, A910, A1550, and CL1446+26

F. Govoni, C. Ferrari, L. Feretti +5

Radio halos are elusive sources located at the center of merging galaxy clusters. To date, only about 40 radio halos are known, thus the discovery of new halos provide important in…

Recurrent radio outbursts at the center of the NGC1407 galaxy group

Simona Giacintucci, Ewan O'Sullivan, Tracy E. Clarke +6

We present deep Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) radio observations at 240, 330 and 610 MHz of the complex radio source at the center of the NGC1407 galaxy group. Previous GM…

Clusters of galaxies : observational properties of the diffuse radio emission

Luigina Feretti, Gabriele Giovannini, Federica Govoni +1

Clusters of galaxies, as the largest virialized systems in the Universe, are ideal laboratories to study the formation and evolution of cosmic structures...(abridged)... Most of th…
