We found that the fraction of radio halos drops from ~70% in high mass clusters to ~35% in the lower mass systems of the sample and we showed that this result is in good agreement with the expectations from turbulent re-acceleration models.

The first binary neutron star merger, detected through both electromagnetic radiation and gravitational waves on the 17th of August 2017, raised the question whether a narrow relativistic jet or a more isotropic outflow was launched as a consequence of the merger.
