title: Radio halo
text: Radio halos are large-scale sources of diffuse radio emission found in the center of some, but not all, galaxy clusters. There are two classes of radio halos: mini-halos and giant radio halos. The linear size of giant radio halos is about 700kpc-1Mpc, whereas mini-halos are typically less than 500kpc. Giant radio halos are more often observed in highly X-ray luminous cluster samples than less luminous X-ray clusters in complete samples. They have a very low surface brightness and do not have obv
