Diffuse radio emission from galaxy clusters

RJ Van Weeren, F de Gasperin, H Akamatsu… - Space Science …, 2019 - Springer
In a growing number of galaxy clusters diffuse extended radio sources have been found.
These sources are not directly associated with individual cluster galaxies. The radio …

Magnetic fields in clusters of galaxies

F Govoni, L Feretti - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2004 - World Scientific
The existence of magnetic fields associated with the intracluster medium in clusters of
galaxies is now well established through different methods of analysis. Magnetic fields are …

Cluster radio relics as a tracer of shock waves of the large-scale structure formation

TA Ensslin, PL Biermann, U Klein, S Kohle - arXiv preprint astro-ph …, 1997 - arxiv.org
We present evidence for the existence of shock waves caused by the formation of the large-
scale structure. In some clusters of galaxies peripherally located sources of extended diffuse …

Mass estimates of X-ray clusters

AE Evrard, CA Metzler, JF Navarro - arXiv preprint astro-ph/9510058, 1995 - arxiv.org
We use cosmological gas dynamic simulations to investigate the accuracy of galaxy cluster
mass estimates based on X-ray observations. The experiments follow the formation of …

Radio halo and relic candidates from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey

G Giovannini, M Tordi, L Feretti - New Astronomy, 1999 - Elsevier
We present the first results of the search of new halo and relic candidates in the NRAO VLA
Sky Survey. We have inspected a sample of 205 clusters from the X-ray-brightest Abell-type …

Cosmic ray transport in galaxy clusters: implications for radio halos, gamma-ray signatures, and cool core heating

T Enßlin, C Pfrommer, F Miniati… - Astronomy & …, 2011 - aanda.org
We investigate the interplay of cosmic ray (CR) propagation and advection in galaxy
clusters. Propagation in form of CR diffusion and streaming tends to drive the CR radial …

The extended radio emission in the luminous X-ray cluster A3667

HJA Röttgering, MH Wieringa… - Monthly Notices of …, 1997 - academic.oup.com
The radio sources in the galaxy cluster A3667 have been imaged using the Australia
Telescope Compact Array at both 13 and 20 cm. The most striking source is a large region …

A cluster merger and the origin of the extended radio emission in Abell 3667

K Roettiger, JO Burns, JM Stone - The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a numerical model for the extended steep-spectrum radio sources and the
elongated X-ray structure in A3667 based on new three-dimensional MHD/N-body …

Cosmic-ray electrons in groups and clusters of galaxies: primary and secondary populations from a numerical cosmological simulation

F Miniati, TW Jones, H Kang, D Ryu - The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the generation and distribution of high-energy electrons in the cosmic
structure environment and their observational consequences by carrying out the first …

On the formation of cluster radio relics

TA Ensslin, M Brueggen - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2002 - academic.oup.com
In several merging clusters of galaxies so-called cluster radio relics have been observed.
These are extended radio sources which do not seem to be associated with any radio …
