New insights into radio emission from Abell 1213 cluster.

European astronomers have observed the galaxy cluster Abell 1213 using various spacecraft and ground-based facilities, unveiling essential information about the diffuse radio emission from this source. The observations found that Abell 1213 exhibits disturbed dynamics and is composed of several galaxy groups. The diffuse radio emission has a size of about 1.66 million light years and may be a tail of the central radio galaxy 4C29.41 bent by the interaction with the intracluster medium. The source of radio emission in Abell 1213 may be a radio relic, and deeper X-ray observations are necessary to draw final conclusions regarding the nature of its diffuse radio emission.
