Context. Nearby clusters of galaxies, z ≲ 0.1, are cosmic structures still under formation. Understanding the thermodynamic properties of merging clusters can...
Microlensing analysis of 14.5-year light curves in SDSS J1004+4112: Quasar accretion disk size and intracluster stellar mass fraction
Context. The gravitational lens system SDSS J1004+4112 was the first known example of a quasar lensed by a galaxy cluster. The interest in this system has been...
Observations of a nearby filament of galaxy clusters with the Sardinia Radio Telescope
We report the detection of diffuse radio emission which might be connected to a large-scale filament of the cosmic web covering a 8° × 8° area in the sky...
Observations of the galaxy cluster CIZA J2242.8+5301 with the Sardinia Radio Telescope
We observed the galaxy cluster CIZA J2242.8+5301 with the Sardinia Radio Telescope to provide new constraints on its spectral properties at high frequency. We...
Context. Most of the contribution to dust emission in clusters of galaxies comes from late-type galaxies. However, several ejection processes of material from...
Optical/X-ray/radio view of Abell 1213: A galaxy cluster with anomalous diffuse radio emission
Context. Abell 1213, a low-richness galaxy system, is known to host an anomalous radio halo detected in data of the Very Large Array (VLA). It is an outlier...
Planck early results. IX. XMM-Newton follow-up for validation of Planck cluster candidates
We present the XMM-Newton follow-up for confirmation of Planck cluster candidates. Twenty-five candidates have been observed to date using snapshot (~10ks)...
Planck early results. X. Statistical analysis of Sunyaev-Zeldovich scaling relations for X-ray galaxy clusters
All-sky data from the Planck survey and the Meta-Catalogue of X-ray detected Clusters of galaxies (MCXC) are combined to investigate the relationship between...
Planck early results. XII. Cluster Sunyaev-Zeldovich optical scaling relations
We present the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal-to-richness scaling relation (Y500 - N200) for the MaxBCG cluster catalogue. Employing a multi-frequency matched...
