The presence of non-thermal electrons and large scale magnetic fields in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) is known through the detection of mega-parsec (Mpc) scale diffuse radio synchrotron emission. Although a significant amount of progress in finding new diffuse radio sources has happened in the last decade, most of the investigation has been constrained towards massive low-redshift clusters. In this work, we explore clusters with redshift $z>0.3$ in search of diffuse radio emission, at 325 MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). This campaign has resulted in the discovery of 2 new radio halos (SPT-CL J0013-4906 and SPT-CL J0304-4401) along with 2 other detections (SPT-CL J2031-4037 and SPT-CL J2248-4431), previously reported (at 325 MHz) in the literature. In addition, we detect a halo candidate in 1 cluster in our sample, and upper limits for halos are placed in 8 clusters where no diffuse emission is detected. In the $P_{1.4} - L_\mathrm{X}$ plane, the detected halos follow the observed correlation, whereas the upper limits lie above the correlation line, indicating the possibility of future detection with sensitive observations.

使用 GMRT 对南极望远镜 SZ 选择的星团进行低频射电晕调查

通过探测百万秒差距 (Mpc) 尺度的漫射无线电同步加速器发射,可以知道簇内介质 (ICM) 中存在非热电子和大规模磁场。尽管在过去十年中在寻找新的漫射射电源方面取得了重大进展,但大部分调查都局限于大规模的低红移星团。在这项工作中,我们使用巨型米波射电望远镜 (GMRT) 在 325 MHz 下探索红移 $z>0.3$ 的星团,以寻找漫射射电发射。该活动导致发现了 2 个新的无线电晕圈(SPT-CL J0013-4906 和 SPT-CL J0304-4401)以及其他 2 个探测结果(SPT-CL J2031-4037 和 SPT-CL J2248-4431),此前报道(在 325 MHz)在文献中。此外,我们在样本中的 1 个集群中检测到一个候选晕圈,光晕的上限设置在 8 个未检测到漫射发射的簇中。在 $P_{1.4} - L_\mathrm{X}$ 平面中,检测到的光晕遵循观察到的相关性,而上限位于相关性线以上,表明未来有可能通过敏感观察进行检测。
