TL;DR

European astronomers have used ESA's XMM-Newton satellite and the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) to study the galaxy cluster PSZ2G113.91-37.01 (G113). The observations revealed that G113 is undergoing a merger and confirmed the presence of a radio halo and two radio relics. The study also identified a cold front and a cold region within the cluster. Further analysis found a strong correlation between X-ray and radio emissions in the halo region, while an anti-correlation was observed in the relic region. The researchers propose further observations to understand the physical processes behind these findings.
