Observations of extended radio emission in clusters
We review observations of extended regions of radio emission in clusters; these include diffuse emission in 'relics', and the large central regions commonly referred to as 'halos'. The spectral observations, as well as Faraday rotation measurements of background and cluster radio sources, provide the main evidence for large-scale intracluster magnetic fields and significant densities of relativ...
متن کاملRadio Observations of Super Star Clusters in Dwarf Starburst Galaxies
We present new radio continuum observations of two dwarf starburst galaxies, NGC3125 and NGC5408, with observations at 4.80GHz (6cm) and 8.64GHz (3cm), taken with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). Both galaxies show a complex radio morphology with several emission regions, mostly coincident with massive young star clusters. The radio spectral indices of these regions are negative (w...
متن کاملExtended X-ray emission at high redshifts: radio galaxies versus clusters
Most old distant radio galaxies should be extended X–ray sources due to inverse Compton scattering of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) photons. Such sources can be an important component in X-ray surveys for high redshift clusters, due to the increase with redshift of both the CMB energy density and the radio source number density. We estimate a lower limit to the space density of such sources...
متن کاملExtended and Compact X-ray Emission in Powerful Radio Galaxies
We report ROSAT X-ray observations of two powerful radio galaxies. 3C 280 provides evidence for a mixture of unresolved and extended emission, with the latter produced by hot plasma of insufficient pressure to confine the radio lobes and insufficient density for a cooling flow to have begun. 3C 220.3 gives only an X-ray upper limit, but one consistent with our interpretation of the X-ray emissi...
متن کاملDying Radio Galaxies in Clusters
We report the recent discovery of three ‘dying’ radio galaxies belonging to the Westerbork Northern Sky Survey minisurvey sample: WNB1734+6407, WNB1829+6911 and WNB1851+5707. These sources have been selected on the basis of their extremely steep broad-band radio spectra, which is a strong indication that these objects either belong to the rare class of dying radio galaxies or that we are observ...
