Polarized synchrotron emission from the radio halos of diffuse intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters is yet to be observed. To investigate the expected polarization in the ICM, we use high resolution ($1$ kpc) magnetohydrodynamic simulations of fluctuation dynamos, which produces intermittent magnetic field structures, for varying scales of turbulent driving ($l_{rm f}$) to generate synthetic observations of the polarized emission. We focus on how the inferred diffuse polarized emission for different $l_{rm f}$ is affected due to smoothing by a finite telescope resolution. The mean fractional polarization $langle prangle$ vary as $langle p rangle propto l_{rm f}^{1/2}$ with $langle p rangle > 20%$ for $l_{rm f} gtrsim 60$ kpc, at frequencies $ u > 4,{rm GHz}$. Faraday depolarization at $ u < 3$ GHz leads to deviation from this relation, and in combination with beam depolarization, filamentary polarized structures are completely erased, reducing $langle p rangle$ to below 5% level at $ u lesssim1$,GHz. Smoothing on scales up to $30$ kpc reduces $langle p rangle$ above $4$ GHz by at most a factor of 2 compared to that expected at $1$ kpc resolution of the simulations, especially for $l_{rm f} gtrsim 100$ kpc, while at $ u < 3$ GHz, $langle p rangle$ is reduced by a factor of more than 5 for $l_{rm f} gtrsim 100$ kpc, and by more than 10 for $l_{rm f} lesssim 100$ kpc. Our results suggest that observational estimates of, or constrain on, $langle p rangle$ at $ u gtrsim 4$ GHz could be used as an indicator of the turbulent driving scale in the ICM.
Fluctuation dynamos are thought to play an essential role in magnetized galaxy evolution, saturating within $sim0.01~$Gyr and thus potentially acting as seeds for large-scale dynamos. However, unambiguous observational confirmation of the fluctuation
Diagnostics of polarized emission provide us with valuable information on the Galactic magnetic field and the state of turbulence in the interstellar medium, which cannot be obtained from synchrotron intensity alone. In Paper I (Herron et al. 2017b),
We present high-angular (~0.4) resolution mid-infrared (MIR) polarimetric observations in the 8.7 ${mu}$m and 11.6 ${mu}$m filters of Cygnus A using CanariCam on the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS. A highly polarized nucleus is observed with a degre
We present a new method to identify and characterize the structure of the intracluster medium (ICM) in simulated galaxy clusters. The method uses the median of gas properties, such as density and pressure, which we show to be very robust to the prese
We present basic properties of $sim$3,300 emission line galaxies detected by the FastSound survey, which are mostly H$alpha$ emitters at $z sim$ 1.2-1.5 in the total area of about 20 deg$^2$, with the H$alpha$ flux sensitivity limit of $sim 1.6 times
