Notes. For each halo, we show the radio data values sr and νr used in Eq. (7) to calculate . We show the latter for 100 ks, 500 ks and, 1 Ms of ASTRO-H observations, together with the corresponding flux in the 20−80 keV energy band in units of 10-12 erg cm-2 s-1. Within a few percent error, the fluxes and magnetic fields scale with observation time according to Eq. (9).

(*)

In this case, the source is larger than the HXI FoV of 9 × 9 = 81 arcmin2. In our work, for simplicity, we assumed a uniform surface brightness, therefore, sr was scaled by a factor 81 /x where x arcmin2 is the size that a source covers in the sky (see Tables 1 and 2). This estimate results in slightly conservative predictions since halos and relics are non-uniform sources.

(**)

This gives results that assume all radio emission is coming from an area equal to the HXI FoV, so sr was not scaled. This can be considered an optimistic estimate for the detectable magnetic field.

(***)

Additional analysis for Coma. Since the Coma radio halo is extremely large in the sky, we estimated the thermal ICM emission only in the HXI FoV, integrating Eq. (4) out to ~ 180 kpc, which roughly corresponds to the HXI FoV, rather than over the full halo size.

(a)

Thermal ICM emission computed using the model by Zandanel et al. (2014) for the gas density.
