The spectacular cluster chain Abell 781 as observed with LOFAR, GMRT, and XMM-Newton

A. Botteon, T. W. Shimwell, A. Bonafede +20

A number of merging galaxy clusters show the presence of large-scale radio emission associated with the intra-cluster medium (ICM). These synchrotron sources are generally classifi…

First evidence of diffuse ultra-steep-spectrum radio emission surrounding the cool core of a cluster

Federica Savini, Annalisa Bonafede, Marcus Brueggen +14

Diffuse synchrotron radio emission from cosmic-ray electrons is observed at the center of a number of galaxy clusters. These sources can be classified either as giant radio halos,…

LOFAR discovery of radio emission in MACSJ0717.53745

A. Bonafede, M. Brüggen, D. Rafferty +16

We present results from LOFAR and GMRT observations of the galaxy cluster MACSJ0717.53745. The cluster is undergoing a violent merger involving at least four sub-clusters, a…

LOFAR discovery of a double radio halo system in Abell 1758 and radio/X-ray study of the cluster pair

A. Botteon, T. W. Shimwell, A. Bonafede +14

Radio halos and radio relics are diffuse synchrotron sources that extend over Mpc-scales and are found in a number of merger galaxy clusters. They are believed to form as a consequ…

Discovery of large-scale diffuse radio emission in low-mass galaxy cluster Abell 1931

M. Brüggen, D. Rafferty, A. Bonafede +12

Extended, steep-spectrum radio synchrotron sources are pre-dominantly found in massive galaxy clusters as opposed to groups. LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey images have revealed a diffu…

Search for low-frequency diffuse radio emission around a shock in the massive galaxy cluster MACS J0744.9+3927

Amanda Wilber, Marcus Brüggen, Annalisa Bonafede +11

Merging galaxy clusters produce low Mach number shocks in the intracluster medium. These shocks can accelerate electrons to relativistic energies that are detectable at radio frequ…
