Investigations of the cluster environment of radio sources have not shown a correlation between radio power and degree of clustering. However, it has been demonstrated that extended X-ray luminosity and galaxy clustering do exhibit a…
We investigate the properties of the environment around 20 powerful radio galaxies and quasars at redshifts between 0.45 and 1. Using XMM-Newton and Chandra observations we probe the spatial distribution and the temperature of the cluster…
In our ongoing multi-wavelength study of cluster AGN, we find ~75% of the spectroscopically identified cluster X-ray point sources (XPS) with L(0.3-8.0keV)>10^{42} erg s^{-1} and cluster radio galaxies with P(1.4 GHz) > 3x10^{23} W Hz^{-1}…
We use the ROSAT All-Sky Survey to study the X-ray properties of a sample of 625 groups and clusters of galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We stack clusters with similar velocity dispersions and investigate whether their…
Results are presented of a new VLA-ROSAT study that probes the magnetic field strength and distribution over a sample of 16 ``normal'' low redshift (z < 0.1) galaxy clusters. The clusters span two orders of magnitude in X-ray luminosity,…
Using Chandra imaging spectroscopy and VLA L-band maps, we have identified radio galaxies at P(1.4 GHz) >= 3x10^{23} W Hz^{-1} and X-ray point sources (XPSs) at L(0.3-8 keV) >= 10^{42} ergs s^{-1} in 11 moderate redshift (0.2<z<0.4)…

We have studied the radio and far-infrared (FIR) emission from 114 galaxies in the 7 nearest clusters (<100 Mpc) with prominent X-ray emission to investigate the impact of the cluster environment on the star formation and AGN activity in…
We present a statistical study of several fundamental properties of radio sources in nearby clusters, including the radial distribution within clusters, the radio luminosity function (RLF), and the fraction of galaxies that is radio-active…
Our understanding of how AGN feedback operates in galaxy clusters has improved in recent years owing to large efforts in multi-wavelength observations and hydrodynamical simulations. However, it is much less clear how feedback operates in…
Diffuse radio sources, known as mini-halos and halos, are detected at the centres of galaxy clusters. These centralized diffuse sources are typically observed individually, with both appearing together only in rare cases. The origin of the…

We have performed the the first census of Mpc-scale radio emission to include control fields and quantifiable upper limits for bright X-ray clusters in the range 0.03<z<0.3 . Through reprocessing radio images from the WENSS survey, we…
We present a combined radio/X-ray study of six massive galaxy clusters, aimed at determining the potential for heating of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) by non-central radio galaxies. Since X-ray cavities associated with the radio lobes of…
The most spectacular aspect of cluster radio emission is represented by the large-scale diffuse radio sources, which cannot be obviously associated with any individual galaxy. These sources demonstrate the existence of relativistic…
Previous works have suggested a correlation between the X-ray luminosity Lx and the rotational luminosity Lrot of the radio pulsars.However, none of the obtained regression lines are statistically acceptable due to large scatters. We…

Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) show exceptional properties over the whole electromagnetic spectrum. Their special location at the centres of galaxy clusters raises the question of the role of the environment on their radio properties. To…
