A 3.5 Mpc long radio relic in the galaxy cluster ClG 0217+70

A 3.5 Mpc long radio relic in the galaxy cluster ClG 0217+70

Mega-parsec scale radio sources in the form of halos and relics are often detected in dynamically disturbed galaxy clusters. Although they are associated with merger-induced turbulence and shocks, respectively, their formation is not fully understood. We aim to identify the mechanisms responsible for particle acceleration and magnetic field amplification in …
