Abstract:
A fraction of galaxy clusters host diffuse radio sources whose origins
are investigated through multi-wavelength studies of cluster samples.
We investigate the presence of diffuse radio emission in a sample of
seven galaxy clusters in the largely unexplored intermediate redshift
range (0.3<z<0.44).
In search of diffuse emission, deep radio imaging of the clusters are
presented from wide band (1.1-3.1GHz), full resolution (∼5-arcsec)
observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The
visibilities were also imaged at lower resolution after point source
modelling and subtraction and after a taper was applied to achieve
better sensitivity to low surface brightness diffuse radio emission.
In case of non-detection of diffuse sources, we set upper limits for
the radio power of injected diffuse radio sources in the field of our
observations. Furthermore, we discuss the dynamical state of the
observed clusters based on an X-ray morphological analysis with
XMM-Newton.
We detect a giant radio halo in PSZ2 G284.97-23.69 (z=0.39) and a
possible diffuse source in the nearly relaxed cluster PSZ2
G262.73-40.92 (z=0.421). Our sample contains three highly disturbed
massive clusters without clear traces of diffuse emission at the
observed frequencies. We were able to inject modelled radio halos with
low values of total flux density to set upper detection limits;
however, with our high-frequency observations we cannot exclude the
presence of RH in these systems because of the sensitivity of our
observations in combination with the high z of the observed clusters.
Description:
The ATCA sample of Galaxy Clusters at 2.1GHz, 2000MHz bandwidth.
Radio observations of the ATCA sample were carried out with three
separate array configurations for each observed cluster using the
Compact Array Broadband Backend (CABB) correlator with a central
frequency of 2.1GHz and spanning 1.1-3.1GHz (project ID C2679).
Observations were carried out in continuum mode with the correlator
set to produce 2000x1MHz channels.
We are waiting for image of PSZ2 G284.97-23.69 (PLCK G285.0-3.7),
associated to Paper I (Martinez Aviles et al., 2016A&A...595A.116M 2016A&A...595A.116M)
that should be sent by the authors.
