New uGMRT Images Reveal Complexity of Galaxy Cluster Abell 2256 and new insights on Merging Event - 22/01/2023

Researchers have used the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) in India to produce the most detailed image yet of the galaxy cluster Abell 2256. The new uGMRT images reveal that radio emission is more extended at low frequencies and previously undetected regions where plasma processes such as turbulence and shocks accelerate particles, causing radio emission.
