Occurence and Luminosity Functions of Giant Radio Halos from Magneto-Turbulent Model
We calculate the probability to form giant radio halos (∼1 Mpc size) as a function of the mass of the host clusters by using a Statistical Magneto-Turbulent Model (Cassano & Brunetti, these proceedings). We show that the expectations of this model are in good agreement with the observations for viable values of the parameters. In particular, the abrupt increase of the probability to find radio ...
متن کاملThe Radio Luminosity Function of Cluster Radio Halos
A significant fraction of galaxy clusters exhibits cluster wide radio halos. We give a simple prediction of the local and higher redshift radio halo luminosity function (RHLF) on the basis of (i) an observed and a theoretical X-ray cluster luminosity function (XCLF) (ii) the observed radio–X-ray luminosity correlation (RXLC) of galaxy clusters with radio halos (iii) an assumed fraction of frh ≈...
متن کاملStatistics of Giant Radio Halos from Electron Reacceleration Models
The most important evidence of non–thermal phenomena in galaxy clusters comes from Giant Radio Halos (GRHs), spectacular synchrotron radio sources extended over >Mpc scales, detected in the central regions of a growing number of massive galaxy clusters. A promising possibility to explain these sources is given by in situ stochastic reacceleration of relativistic electrons by turbulence generate...
متن کاملA morphological comparison between giant radio halos and radio mini–halos in galaxy clusters
In this letter we present a morphological comparison between giant radio halos and radio mini-halos in galaxy clusters based on radio–X-ray luminosity, P1.4-LX, and radio luminosity-size, P1.4-RH, correlations. We report evidence that P1.4-LX and P1.4-RH trends may also exist for mini–halos: mini–halo clusters share the same region of giant halo clusters in the (P1.4, LX) plane, whereas they ar...
متن کاملConstraints on turbulent pressure in the X-ray halos of giant elliptical galaxies from resonant scattering
The dense cores of X-ray emitting gaseous halos of large elliptical galaxies with temperatures kT . 0.8 keV show two prominent Fe xvii emission features, which provide a sensitive diagnostic tool to measure the effects of resonant scattering. We present here high-resolution spectra of five bright nearby elliptical galaxies, obtained with the Reflection Grating Spectrometers (RGS) on the XMM-New...
