Composite X-ray and radio images: eROSITA (red) + LOFAR (green), shown on the left. The LOFAR data are from the publicly available DR2 set (Shimwell et al. 2022), which is missing the shortest baselines so that extended structures like the Coma radio-halo are partly filtered out. For this reason, the yellowish color corresponding to X-ray and radio bright regions is confined to the bright structures in the core. SW of the core, the red blob is the X-ray emission of the hot gas in the NGC 4839 group. The yellow structure inside the group is the radio emission from NGC 4839 itself, powered by its central AGN. Further to the SW are the radio relic and the NGC 4789 radio galaxy. Details of the right panel are the same as in the left, except that eROSITA image is now divided by the sum of the best-fitting β-model plus the sky background to emphasize the asymmetric features. The LOFAR image was smoothed after masking bright compact sources. In this representation, the relic edge is aligned with the weak diffuse X-ray structure that extends into the NW direction beyond the brightest part of the edge of the radio relic.
