We report the discovery of a radio megahalo in the merging cluster PLCKG287.0+32.9, based on upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio telescope (uGMRT) observations at frequencies 300-850 MHz. The sensitive radio observations provide a new window to…
Abell 399 and Abell 401 are both rich clusters of galaxies, at temperatures 7.2keV and 8.5keV respectively. They lie at a projected separation of ~3Mpc, forming a close pair. We have observed the system with the XMM-Newton satellite. The…
A comprehensive study of the effect of the cluster environment on the far- infrared (FIR)/radio correlation in nearby Abell clusters is presented. Using the cluster radio galaxy database from Miller & Owen (2001) and optical spectroscopy…
Ultra-steep spectrum (USS) radio sources with complex filamentary morphologies are a poorly understood subclass of diffuse radio source found in galaxy clusters. They are characterised by power law spectra with spectral indices less than…
The cluster Abell 2199 is one of the prototypical ``cooling flow'' clusters. Its central cD galaxy is host to a steep-spectrum radio source, of the type associated with cooling cores. In this paper we combine radio data with new ROSAT HRI…
We present the results of 325 MHz GMRT observations of a super-cluster field, known to contain five Abell clusters at redshift $z \sim 0.2$. We achieve a nominal sensitivity of $34\,\mu$Jy beam$^{-1}$ toward the phase centre. We compile a…
We present newly discovered radio emission in the galaxy cluster Abell 2443 which is (1) diffuse, (2) extremely steep spectrum, (3) offset from the cluster center, (4) of irregular morphology and (5) not clearly associated with any of the…
We performed GMRT low frequency observations of the radio halos, relics and new candidates belonging to the GMRT Radio Halo Cluster Sample first observed at 610 MHz. High sensitivity imaging was performed using the GMRT at 325 MHz and 240…
We present deep XMM-Newton, Karl Jansky Very Large Array, and upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observations of Abell 746, a cluster that hosts a plethora of diffuse emission sources that provide evidence for the acceleration of…
We present initial results from a search to detect radio emission at 1.4 GHz from gravitationally lensed arcs towards galaxy clusters. Using the FIRST survey observations of galaxy cluster fields, we have clearly detected 1.4 GHz emission…
We present {\em ASCA} results of the pair clusters A399 and A401. The region between the two clusters exhibits excess X-rays over the value expected with a simple superposition of the two clusters. We see, however, no temperature rise at…
We present new radio observations of the galaxy cluster merger CIZA J0107.7+5408 (CIZA0107), a large, roughly equal mass, post-core passage, dissociative binary system at z = 0.1066. CIZA0107 is an elongated, disturbed system, hosting two…
We present a comprehensive search for non-thermal high-energy $\gamma$-ray emission from the nearby merging galaxy cluster Abell~119 ($z=0.044$) using archival observations spanning over seven decades in photon energy. Our analysis combines…
We present new XMM-Newton observations of the northwest (NW) radio relic region in the cluster Abell 3667. We detect a jump in the X-ray surface brightness and X-ray temperature at the sharp outer edge of the radio relic which indicate that…
Radio relics, arc-like polarized sources with highly aligned magnetic fields, are typically found on the outskirts of merging galaxy clusters. The magneto-ionic media responsible for the significant coherence observed in radio relics remain…
This paper reports Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of the binary system HD 41004 that are among the deepest images ever obtained at 150~MHz and 400 MHz in the search for radio emission from exoplanets. The HD 41004…
Low-frequency radio observations of galaxy clusters are the key to detecting the diffuse extended emission associated with them. The presence and properties of such radio sources in galaxy clusters reveal the existence of magnetic fields on…
We present a high signal-to-noise spectrum of a bright galaxy at z = 4.9 in 14 h of integration on VLT FORS2. This galaxy is extremely bright, i_850 = 23.10 +/- 0.01, and is strongly-lensed by the foreground massive galaxy cluster Abell…
Many relaxed cool-core clusters host diffuse radio emission on scales of hundreds of kiloparsecs: mini-haloes. However, the mechanism responsible for generating them, as well as their connection with central active galactic nuclei, is…
Diffuse radio emission has been detected in a considerable number of galaxy clusters and groups, revealing the presence of pervasive cosmic magnetic fields, and of relativistic particles in the large-scale structure (LSS) of the Universe.…
