VLA Resolves Unexpected Radio Structures in the Perseus Cluster of Galaxies

We present new deep, high-resolution, 1.5 GHz observations of the prototypical nearby Perseus galaxy cluster from Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. isolate for first time complete tail radio emission bent-jet NGC 1272, which had been previously mistaken to be part mini-halo. The possibility that diffuse contributes mini-halo may a general phenomenon in relaxed cool-core clusters, and should explored. collimated jets 1272 initially bend west, then transition eastward into faint, 60 kpc-long extensions with eddy-like structures filaments. suggest interpretations these involve bulk motions intracluster gas, galaxy's orbit including projection effects, passage through sloshing cold front. Instabilities turbulence created at surface this front turbulent wake infalling host most likely play role formation observed structures. also discover series faint rings, south-east are type structure has never seen before clusters.
