abstract
We search for MeV gamma-ray emission between 0.75-30 MeV from five galaxy clusters, viz. Coma, VIRGO, SPT-CL J2012-5649, Bullet, and El Gordo, using archival data from the COMPTEL telescope. For this purpose we use three search templates: point source, radial disk and radial Gaussian. We do not detect any signals from Coma, SPT-CL J2012-5649, Bullet and El Gordo clusters with the 95\% c.l. photon energy flux limit $\sim 10^{-10} ~\rm{erg /cm^2/s} $. For VIRGO, we detect a non-zero signal between 0.92 to 1.63 MeV having marginal significance of about $2.5\sigma$, with the observed energy flux $ \sim 10^{-9}~\rm{ergs/cm^2/s}$. However, we do not confirm the previously reported evidence in literature for a gamma-ray line from Coma and VIRGO clusters between 5-7 MeV.

Multi-Wavelength Signatures of a Giant Cometary Radio Halo in MACSJ0417-1154
MACSJ0417’s giant radio halo shows spectral steepening and radio–X-ray correlation consistent with turbulence from a 6:1 off-axis merger that preserved the cool core; pure hadronic models are energetically excluded.

A Search for Hard X-ray/Soft $\gamma$-ray Emission from SPT-CL J2012-5649 (Abell 3667) Using INTEGRAL/ISGRI
INTEGRAL/ISGRI finds no 30–300 keV emission from the merging galaxy cluster Abell 3667, yielding a 3σ upper limit of 4.4×10^-10 erg cm^-2 s^-1 in the 30–100 keV band.
