Figure 6: Radio spectra of the halo source (filled dots) and of the head-tail J1333-3141 (triangles) in A3562. The 1.4 GHz flux density values are taken from V03. The 843 MHz value for the halo is from V00. For the head-tail, the 2.36 GHz flux density is taken from V00, and the 330 MHz, 4.86 GHz and 8.46 GHz values are from V03. |

Figure 8: Energy spectrum of the radio halo in A3562 compared with the expectations from three models for the origin of the emitting electrons. The long dashed line represents the emission from a power law energy distribution of the emitting electrons; this model is normalized at the 332-1400 MHz emission. The short dashed line is a turbulent-acceleration model of electrons which are accelerated and emit in a region which is larger than the typical scale of variation of the magnetic field intensity (the slope of the model is similar to what is reported in Brunetti et al. 2004, Fig. 21). The solid line is obtained assuming that particles are accelerated with a fixed acceleration efficiency and emit in a region of constant magnetic field intensity. |
