New detections of radio minihalos in cool cores of galaxy clusters

Simona Giacintucci, Maxim Markevitch, Tiziana Venturi +3

Cool cores of some galaxy clusters exhibit faint radio "minihalos." Their origin is unclear; their study has been limited by their small number. We undertook a systematic search fo…

Radio emission at the centre of the galaxy cluster Abell 3560: evidence for core sloshing?

T. Venturi, M. Rossetti, S. Bardelli +4

Previous radio observations of the galaxy cluster A3560 in the Shapley Concentration showed complex radio emission associated with the brightest cluster member.To understand its or…

Chandra View of the Ultra-Steep Spectrum Radio Source in Abell 2443: Merger Shock-Induced Compression of Fossil Radio Plasma?

T. E. Clarke, S. W. Randall, C. L. Sarazin +2

We present a new Chandra X-ray observation of the intracluster medium in the galaxy cluster Abell 2443, hosting an ultra-steep spectrum radio source. The data reveal that the intra…

The Extended GMRT Radio Halo Survey I: New upper limits on radio halos and mini-halos

R. Kale, T. Venturi, S. Giacintucci +5

A fraction of galaxy clusters host diffuse radio sources called radio halos, radio relics and mini-halos. We present the sample and first results from the Extended GMRT Radio Halo…

Revisiting scaling relations for giant radio halos in galaxy clusters

R. Cassano, S. Ettori, G. Brunetti +6

Many galaxy clusters host Megaparsec-scale radio halos, generated by ultrarelativistic electrons in the magnetized intracluster medium. Correlations between the power of radio halo…

Sloshing cold fronts in galaxy groups and their perturbing disk galaxies: an X-ray, Optical and Radio Case Study

F. Gastaldello, L. Di Gesu, S. Ghizzardi +10

We present a combined X-ray, optical, and radio analysis of the galaxy group IC 1860 using the currently available Chandra and XMM data, literature multi-object spectroscopy data a…
