A radio ridge connecting two galaxy clusters in a filament of the cosmic web
read the original abstract
Galaxy clusters are the most massive gravitationally bound structures in the Universe. They grow by accreting smaller structures in a merging process that produces shocks and turbulence in the intra-cluster gas. We observed a ridge of radio emission connecting the merging galaxy clusters Abell 0399 and Abell 0401 with the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) at 140 MHz. This emission requires a population of relativistic electrons and a magnetic field located in a filament between the two galaxy clusters. We performed simulations to show that a volume-filling distribution of weak shocks may re-accelerate a pre-existing population of relativistic particles, producing emission at radio wavelengths that illuminates the magnetic ridge.

Two-component large-scale radio emission in Abell 2244
Abell 2244 hosts a two-component radio halo whose outer part has a flatter spectral index than megahaloes and a weaker radio-X-ray correlation than the inner halo.
