The Radio Luminosity Function of Cluster Radio Halos
A significant fraction of galaxy clusters exhibits cluster wide radio halos. We give a simple prediction of the local and higher redshift radio halo luminosity function (RHLF) on the basis of (i) an observed and a theoretical X-ray cluster luminosity function (XCLF) (ii) the observed radio–X-ray luminosity correlation (RXLC) of galaxy clusters with radio halos (iii) an assumed fraction of frh ≈...
متن کاملThe Luminosity Function of Cluster Radio Relics
In this paper we compute the luminosity function of radio relics. In our calculation we include only those relics that are produced by the compression of former radio cocoons. This compression is provided by shocks that are generated in the process of structure formation. Starting from an analytical model for the luminosity evolution of ageing radio cocoons, the luminosity function of radio gal...
متن کاملDiffuse Cluster-wide Radio Halos
We will discuss the properties and origins of halos and relics including estimates of the cluster magnetic fields, and present results for a few recently discovered halos and relics. The electrons in the suprathermal high energy tail of the thermal gas distribution are likely to provide the seed particles for acceleration through mergers and turbulences to relativistic energies. These relativis...
متن کاملThe Radio Luminosity Function of the NEP Distant Cluster Radio Galaxies
A complete sample of 18 X-ray selected clusters of galaxies belonging to the ROSAT North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) survey has been observed with the Very Large Array at 1.4 GHz. These are the most distant clusters in the X-ray survey with redshift in the range 0.3 < z < 0.8. Seventy-nine radio sources are detected within half an Abell radius with an observed peak brightness > 0.17 mJy beam−1, except ...
متن کاملDeep images of cluster radio halos
New radio data are presented for the clusters A401, A545, A754, A1914, A2219 and A2390, where the presence of diffuse radio emission was suggested from the images of the NRAO VLA Sky Survey. Sensitive images of these clusters, obtained with the Very Large Array (VLA) at 20 cm confirm the existence of the diffuse sources and allow us to derive their fluxes and intrinsic parameters. The correlati...
