Low-frequency radio observations of the galaxy cluster CIZA J2242.8+5301
Some disturbed galaxy clusters host diffuse elongated radio sources, also called radio relics. It is proposed that these relics trace shock waves in the intracluster medium (ICM). Within the shock waves, generated by cluster merger events, particles are accelerated to relativistic energies, and i...
