Radio Emission from the Brightest Central Galaxies in the Shapley Concentration Core

  • 1. INAF - IRA, Bologna

Description

Extended cluster radio galaxies show different morphologies compared to those found isolated in the field. Indeed, symmetric double radio galaxies are only a small percentage of the total content of radio loud cluster galaxies, which show mainly tailed morphologies. Moreover, cluster mergers can deeply affect the statistical properties of their radio activity. In order to better understand the morphological and radio activity differences of the brightest central galaxies (BCGs) in major merging and non/tidal-merging clusters, we performed a multifrequency study of extended radio galaxies inside two cluster complexes, A3528 and A3558, belonging to the Shapley Concentration Core.
