A giant radio bridge connecting two clusters in Abell 1758
A. Botteon, R. J. van Weeren, G. Brunetti +14
Collisions between galaxy clusters dissipate enormous amounts of energy in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) through turbulence and shocks. In the process, Mpc-scale diffuse synchrotr…
Particle re-acceleration and Faraday-complex structures in the RXC J1314.4-2515 galaxy cluster
C. Stuardi, A. Bonafede, D. Wittor +9
Radio relics are sites of electron (re)acceleration in merging galaxy clusters but the mechanism of acceleration and the topology of the magnetic field in and near relics are yet t…
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…
Radio observations of the double-relic galaxy cluster Abell 1240
D. N. Hoang, T. W. Shimwell, R. J. van Weeren +16
We present LOFAR MHz images of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 1240 that hosts double radio relics. In combination with the GMRT MHz and VLA GHz data, we…
LOFAR discovery of an ultra-steep radio halo and giant head-tail radio galaxy in Abell 1132
A. Wilber, M. Brüggen, A. Bonafede +16
LOFAR observations at 144 MHz have revealed large-scale radio sources in the unrelaxed galaxy cluster Abell 1132. The cluster hosts diffuse radio emission on scales of 650 kp…
Tracing low-mass galaxy clusters with radio relics: the discovery of Abell 3527-bis
F. de Gasperin, H. T. Intema, J. Ridl +6
Galaxy clusters undergo mergers that can generate extended radio sources called radio relics. Radio relics are the consequence of merger-induced shocks that propagate in the intra…
Evidence for a Toroidal Magnetic-Field Component in 5C4.114 on Kiloparsec Scales
Denise C. Gabuzda, Sebastian Knuettel, Annalisa Bonafede
A monotonic, statistically significant gradient in the observed Faraday Rotation Measure (RM) across the jet of an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) reflects a corresponding gradient i…
LOFAR low-band antenna observations of the 3C295 and Bootes fields: source counts and ultra-steep spectrum sources
R. J. van Weeren, W. L. Williams, C. Tasse +98
We present LOFAR Low Band observations of the Bootes and 3C295 fields. Our images made at 34, 46, and 62 MHz reach noise levels of 12, 8, and 5 mJy beam, making them the dee…
Studying Galactic interstellar turbulence through fluctuations in synchrotron emission: First LOFAR Galactic foreground detection
M. Iacobelli, M. Haverkorn, E. Orrú +85
The characteristic outer scale of turbulence and the ratio of the random to ordered components of the magnetic field are key parameters to characterise magnetic turbulence in the i…
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…
First LOFAR results on galaxy clusters
C. Ferrari, I. van Bemmel, A. Bonafede +21
Deep radio observations of galaxy clusters have revealed the existence of diffuse radio sources related to the presence of relativistic electrons and weak magnetic fields in the in…
Wide-band Simultaneous Observations of Pulsars: Disentangling Dispersion Measure and Profile Variations
T. E. Hassall, B. W. Stappers, J. W. T. Hessels +91
Dispersion in the interstellar medium is a well known phenomenon that follows a simple relationship, which has been used to predict the time delay of dispersed radio pulses since t…
First LOFAR observations at very low frequencies of cluster-scale non-thermal emission: the case of Abell 2256
R. J. van Weeren, H. J. A. Rottgering, D. A. Rafferty +79
Abell 2256 is one of the best known examples of a galaxy cluster hosting large-scale diffuse radio emission that is unrelated to individual galaxies. It contains both a giant radio…
A non-ideal MHD Gadget: Simulating massive galaxy clusters
A. Bonafede, K. Dolag, F. Stasyszyn +2
Magnetic fields in the intra-cluster medium of galaxy clusters have been studied in the past years through different methods. In the next years the up-coming generation of radio te…
Fractional polarization and magnetic fields in the ICM
A. Bonafede, F. Govoni, L. Feretti +3
The aim of this work is to investigate the average properties of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) magnetic fields, and to search for possible correlations with the ICM thermal proper…
