Radio observations of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 520

Radio observations of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 520

Context. Extended synchrotron radio sources are often observed in merging galaxy clusters. Studies of the extended emission help us to understand the mechanisms in which the radio emitting particles gain their relativistic energies. Aims. We examine the possible acceleration mechanisms of the relativistic particles that are responsible for the extended …
