Non-thermal emission from galaxy clusters: a Pandoras vase for astrophysics


Abstract in English

The existence of cosmic rays and weak magnetic fields in the intracluster volume has been well proven by deep radio observations of galaxy clusters. However a detailed physical characterization of the non-thermal component of large scale-structures, relevant for high-precision cosmology, is still missing. I will show the importance of combining numerical and theoretical works with cluster observations by a new-generation of radio, Gamma- and X-ray instruments.
