Description

An important aspect of the radio emission from clusters of galaxy is represented as the diffuse radio sources associated with the intracluster medium. These radio sources are known as radio halos, relics and mini halos. The radio halos and relics are indicators of cluster mergers. We are probing the same into the submerger A1437 supercluster.
