The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey -- V. Second data release

T. W. Shimwell, M. J. Hardcastle, C. Tasse +103

In this data release from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) we present 120-168MHz images covering 27% of the northern sky. Our coverage is split into two regions centred at ap…

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…

Radio relics radio emission from multi-shock scenario

Giannandrea Inchingolo, Denis Wittor, Kamlesh Rajpurohit +1

Radio relics are giant (Mpc) synchrotron sources that are believed to be produced by the (re)acceleration of cosmic-ray electrons (CRe) by shocks in the intracluster medium.…

Morphology of radio relics II: Properties of polarised emission

P. Domínguez-Fernández, M. Brüggen, F. Vazza +7

Radio relics are diffuse radio sources in galaxy clusters that are associated with merger shock waves. Detailed observations of radio relics in total intensity and in polarisation…

Exploring the spectral properties of radio relics I: Integrated spectral index and Mach number

Denis Wittor, Stefano Ettori, Franco Vazza +3

Radio relics are the manifestation of electrons presumably being shock (re-)accelerated to high energies in the outskirts of galaxy clusters. However, estimates of the shocks' stre…

Dissecting nonthermal emission in the complex multiple-merger galaxy cluster Abell 2744: Radio and X-ray analysis

K. Rajpurohit, F. Vazza, R. J. van Weeren +14

We present the first deep low frequency radio observations of the massive and highly disturbed galaxy cluster Abell 2744 using the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT).…
