ATCA observations of the MACS- Planck Radio Halo Cluster Project: I. New detection of a radio halo in PLCK G285.0-23.7

Aims. We investigate the possible presence of diffuse radio emission in the intermediate redshift, massive cluster PLCK G285.0-23.7 (z = 0.39, M500 = 8.39 × 1014M?). Methods. Our 16 cm-band ATCA observations of PLCK G285.0-23.7 allow us to reach a rms noise level of ~11 µJy/beam on the wide-band (1....
