We present the results of a search for diffuse radio emission in a uniformly selected sample of 30 of the most massive Sunyaev-Zel'dovich selected galaxy clusters at $z > 1$, providing the first statistical constraints on the evolution of…
Radio halos are synchrotron diffuse sources at the centre of a fraction of galaxy clusters. The study of large samples of clusters with adequate radio and X-ray data is necessary to investigate the origin of radio halos and their connection…
Diffuse radio emission in galaxy clusters, such as radio halos, relics, and mini halos, is a key tracer of non-thermal processes, turbulence, and magnetic fields within the intra-cluster medium. However, their low surface brightness, as…
The presence of non-thermal electrons and large scale magnetic fields in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) is known through the detection of mega-parsec (Mpc) scale diffuse radio synchrotron emission. Although a significant amount of progress…
Giant radio halos (RH) are Mpc-scale synchrotron sources detected in a significant fraction of massive and merging galaxy clusters.Their statistical properties can be used to discriminate among various models for their origin. Theoretical…
Radio halos are synchrotron radio sources detected in some massive galaxy clusters. Their Mpc-size indicates that (re)acceleration processes are taking place in the host cluster. X-ray catalogues of galaxy clusters have been used in the…
We aim at an unbiased census of the radio halo population in galaxy clusters and test whether current low number counts of radio halos have arisen from selection biases. We construct near-complete samples based on X-ray and…
In some clusters of galaxies, a diffuse non-thermal emission is present, not obviously associated with any individual galaxy. These sources have been identified as relics, mini-halos, and halos according to their properties and position…
We have studied radio haloes and relics in nine merging galaxy clusters using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). The images used for this study were obtained from the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA (GLEAM) Survey which was carried…
Aims. We aim to understand the nature of the diffuse radio emission surrounding the massive galaxy cluster PSZ2 G083.29-31.03, at z=0.412, already known to host a radio halo. Our investigation was triggered by Radio U-Net, a novel machine…
Low-frequency radio observations are revealing an increasing number of diffuse synchrotron sources from galaxy clusters, dominantly in the form of radio halos or radio relics. The existence of this diffuse synchrotron emission indicates the…
Non-thermal properties of galaxy clusters have been studied with detailed and deep radio images in comparison with X-ray data. While much progress has been made, most of the studied clusters are at a relatively low redshift (z < 0.3). We…
The goal of the present study is to extend our current knowledge of the diffuse radio source (halo and relic) populations to $z$ $>$ 0.3. Here we report GMRT and EVLA radio observations of six galaxy clusters taken from the MAssive Cluster…
Many galaxy clusters host Mpc scale diffuse radio sources called radio halos. Their origin is connected to the processes that lead to the formation of clusters themselves. In order to unveil this connection, statistical studies of radio…
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…
A fraction of galaxy clusters host diffuse radio sources called radio halos, radio relics and mini-halos. We present the sample and first results from the Extended GMRT Radio Halo Survey (EGRHS)- an extension of the GMRT Radio Halo Survey…
Modern radio telescope surveys, capable of detecting billions of galaxies in wide-field surveys, have made manual morphological classification impracticable. This applies in particular when the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO)…

Recent X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) observations have dramatically increased the number of known distant galaxy clusters. In some merging, low-redshift (z<0.4) clusters, centrally-located, diffuse, extended radio emission (called radio…
We present an overview of unbiased studies of diffuse extragalactic radio sources. We use a previously developed filtering technique to remove compact sources from large surveys such as WENSS, WISH, and NVSS and examine the residual diffuse…
