Ultra-steep spectrum emission in the merging galaxy cluster Abell 1914

Ultra-steep spectrum emission in the merging galaxy cluster Abell 1914

A number of radio observations have revealed the presence of large synchrotron-emitting sources associated with the intra-cluster medium. There is strong observational evidence that the emitting particles have been (re-)accelerated by shocks and turbulence generated during merger events. The particl...
