Radio Evidence of a Minor Merger in The Shapley Supercluster
17.01.2022A group of astronomers led by the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics with contributions from the Argelander Institute for Astronomy (AIfA) at the University of Bonn has conducted a multi-frequency and multi-band study of the Shapley Supercluster, where the formation of large structures is ongoing at the present cosmological age. Radio astronomers have discovered a radio emission that acts as a "bridge" between a cluster of galaxies and a group of galaxies. The latter recently collided with the cluster like a giant bullet that triggered the emission. The observations, reported in an Astronomy & Astrophysics article, were carried out with the Australian ASKAP radio telescope, the South African MeerKAT radio telescope, and the Indian Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). Optical data collected with ESO's Vlt Survey Telescope (VST) and X-ray data from ESA's XMM-Newton space telescope completed the study.
