Particle acceleration in a nearby galaxy cluster pair: the role of cluster dynamics
Particle acceleration in a nearby galaxy cluster pair: the role of cluster dynamics
Diffuse radio emission associated with the intra-cluster medium (ICM) is observed in a number of merging galaxy clusters. It is currently believed that in mergers a fraction of the kinetic energy is channeled into non-thermal components, such as turbulence, cosmic rays and magnetic fields, that may lead to the formation …
