Abstract

Despite the recent progresses, it is still unclear where the cluster diffuse radio emission come from. We present the first systematic investigation of the evolution of cluster-scale magnetic fields and accelerated particles over cosmic time, by using LOFAR Two Meter Sky Survey (LoTSS) and upgraded GMRT (uGMRT) observations of a sample of galaxy clusters selected from the latest Planck Sunyaev-Zel’dovic catalog.
