This lecture explores the fascinating phenomena of galaxy cluster merger shocks, radio relics, and the magnetization of the intracluster medium, presented by Matthias Hoeft at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Part of the "Radio Cosmology and Continuum Observations in the SKA Era: A Synergic View" program, this 33-minute talk delves into crucial aspects of radio astronomy that will be further explored with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope. Learn about the complex dynamics of galaxy cluster mergers, the formation of radio relics, and how these processes affect the magnetic properties of the space between galaxies in clusters. The presentation contributes to the broader discussion on radio cosmology and continuum science that will benefit from SKA's unprecedented capabilities when it begins operations in 2027.
