1. Introduction

Giant radio halos are diffuse synchrotron radio sources of Mpc-scale in galaxy clusters. They are observed in about 1/3 of the X-ray luminous galaxy clusters (e.g. Giovannini et al. 1999; Kempner & Sarazin 2001; Cassano et al. 2008; Venturi et al. 2008), in a clear connection with dynamically disturbed systems (Buote 2001; Govoni et al. 2004; Cassano et al. 2010, 2013). The connection between cluster mergers and radio halos suggests that these sources trace the hierarchical cluster assembly and probe the dissipation of gravitational energy during the dark-matter-driven mergers that lead to the formation of clusters. However, the details of the physical mechanisms responsible for the generation of synchrotron halos are still unclear.

Two main scenarios are advanced for the origin of these sources. One, the “reacceleration” model, is based on the idea that seed relativistic electrons are re-accelerated by turbulence produced during merger events (Brunetti et al. 2001; Petrosian 2001; Fujita et al. 2003; Cassano & Brunetti 2005; Brunetti & Lazarian 2007; Beresnyak et al. 2013). The alternative is that cosmic ray electrons (CRe) are injected by inelastic collisions between long-lived relativistic protons (CRp) and thermal proton-targets in the intra-cluster-medium (ICM) (the “hadronic” model, Dennison 1980; Blasi & Colafrancesco 1999; Pfrommer & Enßlin 2004, PE04; Keshet & Loeb 2010). More general calculations attempt to combine the two mechanisms by modeling the reacceleration of relativistic protons and their secondary electrons (e.g. Brunetti & Blasi 2005; Brunetti & Lazarian 2011).

Concerns with a purely hadronic origin of radio halos arise from the large energy content of cosmic ray protons (CRp) that is necessary to explain radio halos with very steep spectra (Brunetti 2004; PE04; Brunetti et al. 2008; Macario et al. 2010) and from the non-detection of galaxy clusters with radio halos in the γ-rays (Ackermann et al. 2010; Jeltema & Profumo 2011; Brunetti et al. 2012).

Turbulent reacceleration of CRe and the production of secondary cosmic rays via hadronic collisions leave different imprints in the spectra of the cluster non-thermal emission. In re-acceleration models, the radio spectra are determined by the low efficiencies of the acceleration mechanism, allowing the acceleration of CRe only up to energies of several GeV, where radiative, synchrotron and inverse Compton (IC), losses become stronger and quench the acceleration process (Schlickeiser et al. 1987; Brunetti et al. 2001; Petrosian 2001). This effect leads to spectra that may steepen at high radio frequencies and a variety of spectral shapes and slopes. Pure hadronic models, by contrast, have spectra with fairly smooth power-laws extending to very high frequencies. Significant spectral breaks at radio frequencies would, in the hadronic model, imply an unnatural strong break in the spectrum of the primary CRp at energies 10–100 GeV (e.g. Blasi 2001). Although the spectra of radio halos are difficult to measure, with only a handful of good-quality data-sets available to date, studying them provides one of the most promising ways to shed light on the origin of these sources (e.g., Orru’ et al. 2007; Kale & Dwarakanath 2010; van Weeren et al. 2012; Venturi et al. 2013; Macario et al. 2013), especially in view of the new generation of low-frequency radio telescopes, such as the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) and the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA).

The radio halo in the Coma cluster is unique in that its spectrum has been measured over almost two decades in frequency (Fig. 1). The observed steepening at high frequencies was used to argue against a hadronic origin of the halo (Schlickeiser et al. 1987; Blasi 2001; Brunetti et al. 2001; Petrosian 2001). Enßlin (2002, E02) first proposed that such a steepening may be caused (at least in part) by the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) decrement seen in the direction of the cluster. This possibility was further elaborated by PE04, concluding that a simple synchrotron power-law spectrum, with spectral index α = 1.05−1.25, provides a fair description of the observed radio spectrum after taking into account the negative flux bowl due to the SZ effect (see also Enßlin et al. 2011). Other efforts to model the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) – effect in the Coma cluster, however, concluded that this effect is not significant (Reimer et al. 2004; Donnert et al. 2010). All these attempts used the β-model spatial distribution of the ICM from X-ray observations¹, but the differences between the two lines of thought comes essentially from the apertures used to estimate the SZ-decrement.

The Planck satellite has recently obtained resolved and precise measurements of the SZ signal in the Coma cluster (Planck Collaboration 2013, hereafter PIPX). These data strongly reduce the degrees of freedom and uncertainties in the modeling of the SZ contribution and allow a straightforward test of the spectral steepening hypothesis. This is the aim of the present paper.

A ΛCDM cosmology (H_o = 70   km   s^-1   Mpc^-1, Ω_m = 0.3, Ω_Λ = 0.7) is adopted.

2. Thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect

The inverse Compton interaction of photons of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) with hot electrons in the ICM modifies the CMB spectrum, with respect to a blackbody, by a quantity δF_SZ that depends on frequency (see e.g., Carlstrom et al. 2002, for a review). For low optical depths this quantity measured on an aperture Ω is (1)where the cluster Compton parameter is (2)l is the line of sight, and the spectral distortion at the frequency ν is (3)where x_ν = hν/k_BT_cmb. At GHz frequencies x_ν ≪ 1, and the SZ effect from the ICM in galaxy clusters creates a negative flux bowl on the scale of the clusters. The flux from radio sources measured by single-dish radio telescopes is that in excess of the background “zero” level that is determined on larger scales. Once discrete sources are subtracted appropriately, the resulting flux observed from radio halos in an aperture Ω_H is F_obs(ν,Ω_H) = F(ν,Ω_H) + δF_SZ(ν,Ω_H), F is relative to the intrinsic emission. The SZ-decrement (negative) signal, δF_SZ, will become comparable to the flux from the halo at sufficiently high frequencies, leading to an apparent steepening of the observed spectrum (Liang et al. 2000, E02).

3. Implications for the Coma radio halo

In this section we use Planck measurements to calculate the modification of the spectrum of the Coma radio halo at higher frequencies that is caused by the SZ-decrement. Because this correction depends on the aperture over which it is calculated, as well as on the varying radio sensitivities and observed halo sizes in the literature, we used three different approaches to ensure that our results are robust.

• (i)

  We used the halo spectrum from the data compilation from Thierbach et al. (2003, T03) and calculated the SZ decrement in a reference aperture radius that is consistent with those used at the various frequencies in the T03 compilation;

• (ii)

  we used the subset of radio observations for which the actual radial profiles are available to derive the halo spectrum in two fixed aperture radii and self-consistently calculated the SZ decrement within these radii;

• (iii)

  we used the correlation between radio brightness and y-parameter discovered by PIPX to derive the ratio of radio-halo flux and negative SZ flux as a function of frequency and almost independently of the aperture radius.

Before using these different methods for evaluating the SZ contribution, we first discuss the main uncertainties in the radio halo spectrum, in particular the scale size of the halo which is essential for the application of these methods.

Figure 1 shows the observed spectrum from the T03 compilation of data-points² and the best fit to the data at lower (≤1.4 GHz) frequencies, a power law with α = 1.22 ± 0.04. We note that the scatter of the data is larger than expected from the quoted errors (the best fit has ), which suggests systematics that are likely due to the different sensitivities and the variety of telescope systems used over the past 30 years. To investigate the effects of sensitivity on the observed halo sizes and fluxes we returned to the original papers used for Fig. 1. Wherever the information was available, we show in Fig. 2 (left) the sensitivities to diffuse emission of the observations at the different frequencies (sensitivities are all scaled to 0.3 GHz using α = 1.22). If we focus on the data at ν ≤ 1.4 GHz (points 1−11), the comparison between Figs. 1 and 2 (left) immediately shows that fluxes from higher-sensitivity observations (points 4, 6, 8, 10) are systematically biased high (about 50% higher) with respect to those derived from the less sensitive observations (points 1, 5, 9, and 11). This is because better sensitivities allow one to trace the diffuse emission of the halo to larger distances from the cluster center. This is clear from Fig. 2 (right), where we show the diameters of the radio halo that we measured from the 3σ contours in the published radio maps as a function of the sensitivity. The measured 3σ diameter (=, R_min and R_max are the smallest and largest radii in the map) increases with sensitivity in a way that depends on the brightness distribution of the radio halo: in Fig. 2 (right) we also show the behavior expected assuming a radio-brightness distribution of the form I_R ∝ (1 + (r/r_c)²)^− k, where r_c is the X-ray core radius of Coma, r_c = 10.5 arcmin, and where k ≃ 0.7 ∗ (3β−1/2), as inferred by Govoni et al. (2001) (β = 0.75). This provides a good description of the data; note that points 5 and 11, with the poorest sensitivities, are both approximated well by the model, but come from very different frequencies, 151 MHz and 1.38 GHz, respectively.

With a good estimate of the sensitivity dependence, we can now address a key concern, i.e., whether the observed spectral steepening is caused by a lack of sensitivity. For point 12, at 2.675 GHz, the sensitivity is the same as for a number of points from 139 MHz to 1.4 GHz, therefore it is expected to appear on the power-law line (Fig. 1) if there is no spectral steepening. However, it is a factor of ~2 below this line, supporting the case for actual spectral steepening, whether intrinsic or caused by the SZ effect. We also note that the flux of the Coma radio relic measured at 2.675 GHz by T03 is indeed consistent with the power-law shape derived from other observations in the range 151 MHz–4.75 GHz (T03, Fig. 8), adding confidence on the steepening measured by T03 for the halo. The effect of sensitivity on the highest frequency point, 13, can be best assessed by comparison with points 1, 5 and 11, from 30 MHz, 151 MHz and 1380 MHz, respectively, which have a similar sensitivity. The flux of points 1, 5 and 11 is ~20% lower than the power-law line in Fig. 1. A drop of 20% for point 13 does not explain its flux, which is more than a factor of ~3 below the power-law line. We conclude that the spectral steepening at 2.675 GHz and 4.85 GHz is not an observational effect caused by the sensitivity of the observations at the different frequencies.

Systematics in the spectrum might also come from the different procedures used to subtract discrete sources in the halo region. The subtraction becomes critical at higher frequencies where most of the flux in the halo region is associated with discrete sources. The flux at 4.85 GHz of the two brightest sources in the halo region (NGC 4869 and 4874) is known from VLA observations (175 mJy in total, see T03 and Kim 1994), while additional 55 mJy are attributed by T03 to discrete sources in the halo region by using the master-source list of Kim (1994), which also reports spectral indices. Most of the spectral information in Kim (1994) was obtained at frequencies ≤1.6 GHz, therefore the flux of discrete sources may be overestimated if their spectral indices actually steepen at higher frequencies (T03); this would bias the resulting flux of the halo low. We investigated this effect by assuming the typical spectral steepenings between low and high (1.4–4.8 GHz) frequencies that are measured for samples of radio sources, Δα ≤ 0.15 (Kuehr et al. 1981; Helmboldt et al. 2008), and found that the increment of the radio halo flux with respect to that from T03 is <30%, which is lower than the error reported in Fig. 1. Again we conclude that the spectral steepening observed at high frequencies is not driven by obvious observational biases.

As a final step we studied the possible effect caused by the different adopted flux calibration scales, because spectral measurements were taken over a long time-span. The best modern values are presented by Perley & Butler (2013). Using their values for the calibrator 3C 286, we corrected the T03 2675 and 4850 MHz data. This resulted in a reduction of their fluxes by 3.5% and 2.1%, enhancing the steepening by a tiny amount, well within the errors. Most of the other papers summarized by T03 do not explicitly describe their flux scale, although the most common scale in usage was that of Baars et al. (1977). Down to 326 MHz, which is the lowest frequency studied by Perley & Butler, the other literature values would decrease by an average of 1.6%, with the largest decrease being 2.5% for the 608.5 MHz point, producing no significant change in the spectrum³.

We proceed to examine the potential contribution of the SZ effect.

3.1. Method (i)

Our first method of evaluating the SZ contribution involves using the fluxes as reported in the literature and adopting an appropriate “reference” aperture radius for the correction. Figure 3 (left) shows the “equivalent diameter” (defined below) of the regions that is used by the respective authors for flux measurements, wherever these are available. We deliberately biased our calculations toward higher SZ contributions by using the (larger) apertures at ν ≤ 1.4 GHz; at these low frequencies, the SZ decrement is negligible and cannot artificially make the halo look smaller. In some cases the fluxes were taken from boxes or from complex (non circular) regions that encompass the scale where diffuse emission is detected, therefore we define the “equivalent diameter” as , A being the area from which fluxes in the literature were extracted.

In Fig. 3 we see that for the high-sensitivity points 4, 6, and 10 (139, 330, and 1400 MHz), the aperture radii are consistent with a value of 23′ (=0.48   R₅₀₀, where R₅₀₀ = 47 arcmin  = 1.3 Mpc, PIPX). The low-sensitivity point 1 at 30 MHz is consistent with this as well. These points with consistent aperture define the power law seen in Fig. 1; the low-sensitivity point 5, at 151 MHz, has a smaller size and is indeed ~20% below the power law in Fig. 1. We therefore adopted 23′ as the radius over which to calculate the SZ correction⁴.

With this 23′ (0.48   R₅₀₀) radius, we corrected for the SZ decrement on scales significantly larger than the observed halo sizes at the high frequencies (points 12, and 13), and thus we eventually overestimated the actual effect. From Planck measurements of the Compton parameter y (PIPX) and from Eqs. (1)–(3), we found δF_SZ = −(1.08 ± 0.05)(ν/GHz)² mJy. This is about four times lower than that used by PE04 (their Eq. (74)) and about 30% higher than that used in Donnert et al. (2010). The main reason for the discrepancy with PE04 is that they calculated the SZ-signal by integrating Eq. (1) over an excessively large aperture, Mpc (in Eq. (1) , D_A the angular distance). This corresponds to ~2.75   R₅₀₀, which indeed is 5−6 times higher than the radius of the radio halo in the observations of the T03 compilation (Fig. 3 left)⁵. Fig. 1 shows the high-frequency data-points with the SZ correction added (filled symbols). We conclude that the SZ-decrement is not important: an SZ-decrement about four times larger than that measured by Planck would be needed to reconcile the data-points at higher frequency with a power-law spectrum.

With this result, we must conclude that the spectral break above 1.4 GHz is intrinsic to the source. We attempted to constrain the magnitude of the break by fitting the data-points in Fig. 1, corrected for the SZ-decrement (adding a flux =1.08(ν/GHz)² mJy), with a broken power-law with slopes at lower and higher frequencies α and α + Δα. An F-test analysis, using the statistical errors from Fig. 1, constrains Δα > 0.45 (90% confidence level), implying a corresponding break in the spectrum of the emitting electrons Δδ > 0.9. A strong break is also clear from Fig. 1, which shows synchrotron models assuming both a break Δδ = 1.6 (dotted line) and a high-energy cut-off (dashed line). A strong break (or cut-off) in the spectrum of the emitting electrons is thus required by the current data even after correcting for the SZ effect.

3.2. Method (ii)

As a second approach, we directly used the brightness profiles of the radio halo at different frequencies wherever these were available. This avoided problems associated with measurements at better sensitivities, which can be integrated to larger radii. In particular, we constructed new spectra by integrating the lower-frequency fluxes only out to radii of 17.5′ and 13′ (0.37 and 0.27 R₅₀₀), which correspond to the effective radii at 2.675 and 4.85 GHz, respectively (as in T03). The calculated SZ decrements from the Planck observations are =− 0.82 ± 0.03 and − (0.50 ± 0.02)(ν/GHz)² mJy, respectively.

In Fig. 4 we show the reconstructed spectrum (SZ-corrected) within these radii. As in method (i), we found that the SZ decrement is negligible and that a correction 4−5 times larger than that implied by Planck measurements would be needed to reconcile the data at 2.675 and 4.85 GHz with the best-fit spectrum obtained at lower frequencies.

We furthermore note that Fig. 4 shows indications for a steepening of the halo spectrum with increasing aperture radius. The best-fit slope obtained using the smallest aperture =13′ (=0.27   R₅₀₀), α = 1.10 ± 0.01, is smaller than that obtained with an aperture of 17.5′ (=0.37   R₅₀₀), α = 1.17 ± 0.02, and than the best-fit slope to the TH03 compilation of data, which refer to larger apertures (Sect. 3.1). This qualitatively agrees with the radial spectral steepening of the Coma radio halo that was reported by Giovannini et al. (1993) and Deiss et al. (1997).

3.3. Method (iii)

In a third approach we evaluated the importance of the SZ decrement by using the correlation found by PIPX between the y-signal and the radio flux in a beam area, F(0.3,Ω_b), from recent deep WSRT observations at 330 MHz (Brown & Rudnick 2011). This is y = 10^-5    ×    10^{(0.86    ±    0.02)}(F(0.3,Ω_b)/Jy)^{0.92    ±    0.04}, using a 10-arcmin FWHM beam and measured to a maximum radial distance ~0.8 ×    R₅₀₀ ~ 38 arcmin. From Eq. (1), this point-to-point radio-SZ correlation can be converted into a relation between the SZ-decrement integrated over a beam area Ω_b, δF_SZ(ν,Ω_b) = 2(k_BT)³f(ν)yΩ_b/(hc)², where Ω_b ≃ 9.6    ×    10^-6 rad² and the radio flux integrated in the same beam. Assuming that the radio halo has an intrinsic power-law spectrum, F(ν) ∝ ν^− α, it is (4)Here the ratio δF_SZ/F is calculated within a beam area (Ω_b = 9.6 × 10^-6 rad²) and depends on the distance from the cluster center because F, on the right-hand side of Eq. (4), decreases with distance. However, the quasi-linear scaling between δF_SZ and F makes this dependence very weak. Indeed, according to Fig. 9 in PIPX, F(0.3,Ω_b) ranges from ~1 Jy in the central halo regions to ~0.06 Jy in the periphery, implying a maximum variation of <25% in the ratio δF_SZ/F as a function of distance. Such a weak dependence allows us to readily also derive a ratio δF_SZ/F referred to a larger aperture. If we assume the average value of F within the halo region, F ~ 0.2 Jy (PIPX), we obtain the ratio δF_SZ/F on the aperture of the halo, Ω_H (with R_H ~ 0.85   R₅₀₀) (5)where a = −0.08 and ⟨ .. ⟩ is a flux-weighted average on the halo aperture.

The ratio δF_SZ/F from Eq. (5) at different frequencies is shown in Fig. 5 assuming different (intrinsic) spectral slopes. Assuming a power law with slope α ~ 1.22, the spectrum of the halo at lower frequencies, we found that the negative signal caused by the SZ-decrement reduces the radio flux at 4.85 GHz by only ≤10%. That is much less than required to substantially affect the shape of the spectrum; for example a reduction of about 75% would be required assuming the T03 data-set (Fig. 1). Therefore, as in the previous cases, we conclude that the steepening induced by the SZ-decrement is negligible.

3.4. Radio halo and SZ-correction on larger scales

The recent WSRT observations (Brown & Rudnick 2011) allow the halo to be firmly traced out to unprecedentely large scales, ~0.8−0.9   R₅₀₀ radius (Fig. 3 (right)). On small apertures the flux of the halo derived from these observations is consistent with that from Venturi et al. (1990) (Fig. 4), but their higher sensitivity⁶ allows the detection of more flux. This effect can already be seen on apertures 0.4−0.5   R₅₀₀ (Fig. 1) and is especially strong on larger scales (Fig. 3 (right)). If we had adopted the ~0.8−0.9   R₅₀₀ scale for our calculations, the integrated SZ decrement would be about twice as large as that derived above; however, this effect is more than compensated for by the fact that the 330 MHz halo flux integrated on such a large scale is also almost three times higher than in Fig. 1 (Fig. 3, right). Consequently, in this way we would simply re-obtain a similar fractional decrement based on the y-radio correlation (Fig. 5). This is shown in Fig. 6 where the observed data-points at high frequency are compared with a bundle of power-law spectra normalized to the 330 MHz halo flux integrated on an aperture radius =0.85   R₅₀₀ and corrected for the intervening (negative) SZ-decrement measured by Planck on the same aperture (F_obs(ν,Ω_H) = F(ν,Ω_H) + δF_SZ(ν,Ω_H)). We conclude that an intrinsic power-law spectrum with a slope α ~ 1.2−1.3 would produce an observed flux at 4.8 GHz that is 7−8 times higher than that measured by current Effelsberg observations (T03), thus very deep single-dish observations at high frequencies are expected to easily test for the presence of a spectral break in the spectrum of the Coma halo.

As a final remark, we note that our approaches also assumed no influence from the SZ decrement on scales larger than the radio halo scale. To the extent that this is significant, it would eventually bias low the radio “zero” level at high frequencies, and consequently, our procedures would over-estimate the SZ-correction. We expect, however, that this may affect our conclusion only at ≤few percent level.

4. Conclusions

The spectra of radio halos are important probes of the underlying mechanisms for the acceleration of the electrons responsible for the radio emission. The spectrum of the Coma radio halo shows a steepening at higher frequencies. This has triggered an on-going debate on the possibility that this steepening is not intrinsic to the emitted radiation, but it is caused by the intervening SZ effect with the thermal ICM. The recent Planck data (PIPX) allow for a correct evaluation of this effect.

Using Planck results, we have shown that the negative signal caused by the SZ decrement does not produce a significant effect on the shape of the spectrum of the Coma radio halo.

The spectral information of the Coma halo comes from heterogeneous observations in the past 30 years. For this reason, before evaluating the potential effect of the SZ-effect, we have discussed the main uncertainties on the halo spectrum that derive from the different sensitivities of the observations at different frequencies, from the different apertures used to measure the flux of the halo, and from subtracting discrete sources embedded in the halo region. We showed that the different sensitivities of the observation can explain the large ± 30% scattering of the data-points observed in the global spectrum of the halo collected by T03. However, we also showed that neither the different sensitivity of the observations (and the aperture radius of the halo), nor the subtraction of discrete sources can naturally explain the steepening of the halo spectrum observed at higher frequencies.

We examined the potential contribution of the SZ-effect to the observed steepening using three complementary approaches to ensure that our results are robust.

With the first two methods we measured the SZ-decrement by self-consistently adopting the aperture radii used for flux measurements of the radio halo at the different frequencies. First we adopted the global compilation of data-points from T03 and a radius =23 arcmin which is consistent with the aperture used to measure the halo flux in the most sensitive observations, between 30 MHz and 1.4 GHz. We derived an SZ-decrement =− 1.08(ν/GHz)² mJy, which is about four times smaller than that required to explain the observed steepening. Second we used the available brightness profiles of the halo at 139, 330, and 1400 MHz to derive the spectrum of the halo within two fixed apertures, =17.5 and 13 arcmin, which correspond to the effective radius of the regions where the halo is detected at higher frequencies, 2.675 and 4.85 GHz, respectively. In this case the flux of the halo between 139 and 1400 MHz is lower than that in the T03 compilation, but the SZ-signal measured by Planck within these apertures also decreases significantly and is about 4−5 times weaker than that required to explain the steepening of the spectrum measured within the same apertures. As a third complementary approach we used the (almost) scale-independent correlation between y and the 330 MHz halo’s flux within a beam-aperture discovered by PIPX. From this correlation we derived the ratio of the SZ-decrement and the radio flux of the halo, δF_SZ/F, and showed that this is very low. In particular, by assuming a spectral index of the halo α = 1.2−1.3 the ratio is δF_SZ/F ≤ 10% at 4.85 GHz, whereas it should be ≥70% to explain the steepening observed by T03.

Consequently, based on current radio data, our analysis demonstrated that an intrinsic spectral break, or cut-off, is required in the energy distribution of the electrons that generate the radio halo.

It is important to note, however, that the spectral analysis presented here does not tell the whole story of Coma radio spectrum. The recent very high sensitivity observations by Brown & Rudnick (2011) showed that most of the total flux at 330 MHz is emitted beyond a radius of 20−25 arcmin, implying that the halo flux is significantly higher than previously thought. The upcoming LOFAR observations at low frequencies and more sensitive single-dish measurements at high frequencies have the potential of detecting the halo on larger scales and will be essential for evaluating the global spectral shape of the halo and possible spectral variations with radius. For instance, we also showed that future deep observations with single dishes at 5 GHz are expected to measure a halo flux on a 40 arcmin aperture radius that is predicted to be ~7−8 times higher than currently measured if a spectral steepening is absent, thus providing a complementary test to our present findings.
