A morphological analysis of the substructures in radio relics

ABSTRACT Recent observations of radio relics – diffuse emission in galaxy clusters have revealed that these sources are not smooth but consist structures the form threads and filaments. We investigate origin filamentary role projection effects. To this end, we developed a tool extracts from background emission. Moreover, it is capable studying both two-dimensional three-dimensional objects. apply our structure extractor to cosmological simulations relics. Using Minkowski functionals, determine shape identified structures. In 2D analysis, find brightest observed simulated maps Our analysis 3D simulation data shows do sheets only filaments ribbons. Furthermore, did any measurable effect could hide sheet-like projection. magnetic field shock front ribbons cause
