  • 39. Master thesis Conclusions defence Khan Muhammad Bin Asad Introduction MG08 Our observations of MS1455 and R1720 agree Cold fronts (CF) with that of MG08. Definition Gas sloshing R1504 Some portion of the MH confined within the Radio Mini-halos CFs. Better radio observations needed. Characteristics Origin R1347 MH delimited by the CFs. SE elongation due Data analysis Data preparation to the propagation of a shock front. Data analysis Jump modelling A2029 MH is extended beyond the CFs but spatially Results Observations correlated with the sloshing gas. MS 1455.0+2232 RX J1720.1+2638 A1835 CFs in an early stage. MH extended beyond RXC J1504.1-0248 RX J1347-1145 the CFs, better radio observations needed. Abell 2029 Abell 1835 Conclusion Radio emitting particles in MHs can be Conclusions re-accelerated by the turbulence induced by the intergalactic gas sloshing.
