Observations of magnetic fields in intracluster medium
Abstract
The presence of μG-level magnetic fields associated with the intracluster medium of galaxy clusters is now widely acknowledged. Our knowledge of their properties has greatly improved in the recent years thanks to both new radio observations and the developments of new techniques to interpret data.
