Radial Profiles of Radio Halos in Massive Galaxy Clusters: Diffuse Giants Over 2 Mpc

K. Rajpurohit, A. Botteon, E. O'Sullivan +9

We present new, high frequency radio observations of the merging galaxy clusters PLCK G287.0+32.9, Abell 2744, and Bullet. These clusters are known to host Mpc scale sources,…

The MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey Data Release 2: Wideband continuum catalogues and a measurement of the cosmic radio dipole

J. D. Wagenveld, H-R. Klöckner, N. Gupta +18

We present the second data release of the MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS), consisting of wideband continuum catalogues of 391 pointings observed at L~band. The full wideband…

The MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey: Homogeneous continuum catalogues towards a measurement of the cosmic radio dipole

J. D. Wagenveld, H. -R. Klöckner, N. Gupta +21

The number counts of homogeneous samples of radio sources are a tried and true method of probing the large scale structure of the Universe, as most radio sources outside the galact…

A candle in the wind: a radio filament in the core of the A3562 galaxy cluster

S. Giacintucci, T. Venturi, M. Markevitch +8

Using a MeerKAT observation of the galaxy cluster A3562 (a member of the Shapley Supercluster), we have discovered a narrow, long and straight, very faint radio filament, which bra…
