The presence of magnetic fields in the intra-cluster medium of galaxy clusters is now well estabilished. It is directly revealed by the presence of cluster-wide radio sources: radio halos and radio relics. In the last years increasing attention has been devoted to the intra cluster magnetic field through the study of polarized radio emission of radio galaxies, radio halos and radio relics. Recent radio observations have revealed important features of the intra-cluster magnetic field, allowing us to constrain its main properties and to understand the physical processes taking place in the intra-cluster medium. I will review the newest results on galaxy cluster magnetic fields, both focusing on single objects and aimed at describing the magnetic field general properties. The up-coming generation of radio telescopes, EVLA and LOFAR, will shed light on several problematics regarding the cluster magnetic fields and the related non-thermal emission.

  1. The Noise of Vacuum

    astro-ph.CO 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A vacuum-decay model generates primordial curvature perturbations from spatially correlated stochastic noise rather than inflaton fluctuations, solving horizon and flatness problems with zero tensor-to-scalar ratio.
