Abell 3391-Abell 3395 ASKAP/EMU image

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The pre-merging system of galaxy clusters Abell 3391-Abell 3395 located at a mean redshift of 0.053 has been observed at 1GHz in an ASKAP/EMU Early Science observation as well as in X-rays with eROSITA.

Description

The projected separation of the X-ray peaks of the two clusters is ~50{deg} or ~3.1Mpc. Here we present an inventory of interesting radio sources in this field around this cluster merger.

While the eROSITA observations provide clear indications of a bridge of thermal gas between the clusters, neither ASKAP nor MWA observations show any diffuse radio emission coinciding with the X-ray bridge. We derive an upper limit on the radio emissivity in the bridge region of <J>_1GHz_<1.2x10^-44^W/H/m3. A non-detection of diffuse radio emission in the X-ray bridge between these two clusters has implications for particle-acceleration mechanisms in cosmological large-scale structure.

We also report extended or otherwise noteworthy radio sources in the 30deg^2^ field around Abell 3391-Abell 3395. We identified 20 Giant Radio Galaxies, plus 7 candidates, with linear projected sizes greater than 1Mpc. The sky density of field radio galaxies with largest linear sizes of >0.7Mpc is ~1.7deg^2^, three times higher than previously reported.

We find no evidence for a cosmological evolution of the population of Giant Radio Galaxies. Moreover, we find seven candidates for cluster radio relics and radio halos.
