X-ray and Radio Analysis of Abell 1644: Constraints on Cluster Dynamics

Researchers combined radio and X-ray data to study Abell 1644, a merging galaxy cluster. They found clear signs of past mergers, like gas sloshing indicated by a cold front in the X-ray data. However, the lack of diffuse radio emission suggests the merger was minor or the cluster is now relaxing.
