Open Questions in Cosmic-Ray Research at Ultrahigh Energies (2019, unknown): “Though they possess moderate magnetic fields ∼ μG (see e.g., Kim et al., 1991; Carilli and Taylor, 2002) they are extremely extended ∼ 2 − 3 Mpc, and should thus be able to confine particles to extremely high energies (Fang and Olinto, 2016).”
Revised equipartition and minimum energy formula for magnetic field strength estimates from radio synchrotron observations (2005, methodology): “Magnetic fields play an important role in supernova remnants (Fürst & Reich 2004), in the interstellar medium of galaxies (Beck et al. 1996; Beck 2004), in the intergalactic medium of clusters (Carilli & Taylor 2002), and in the jets and lobes of active galaxies (Rees 1985; Blandford 2001).”
Feedback heating by cosmic rays in clusters of galaxies (2007, methodology): “Magnetic fields in the ICM have been measured using a variety of techniques, such as Faraday rotation measurements and studies of synchrotron radiation and inverse Compton X-ray emission (see Carilli & Taylor 2002, for a review).”
Evolving turbulence and magnetic fields in galaxy clusters (2005, background): “Carilli & Taylor (2002) (see also Tribble 1993a) argue that the small value of electric resistivity of the intracluster plasma guarantees that the decay time of magnetic field will be comparable to or exceed the cluster lifetime.”
An MHD gadget for cosmological simulations (2008, background): “…radio observations, via the Faraday Rotation Signal of the magnetized cluster atmosphere towards polarized radio sources in or behindclusters (see Carilli & Taylor 2002; Govoni & Feretti 2004,for recent reviews) and from diffuse synchrotron emission of the cluster a mosphere (see Govoni &…”

DIFFUSIVE SHOCK ACCELERATION SIMULATIONS OF RADIO RELICS (2012, background): “The presence of energetic nonthermal particles, especially electrons, in clusters of galax- ies has been inferred from observations of so-called “radio halos” and “radio relics” (see, e.g., Carilli & Taylor 2002; Govoni & Feretti 2004; Ferrari et al. 2008; Brüggen et al. 2011, for reviews).”
A Bayesian view on Faraday rotation maps - Seeing the magnetic power spectra in galaxy clusters (2005, background): “There is growing evidence that these fields are of the order of∼ µG and are ordered on kiloparsec scales (see e.g. recent reviews Carilli & Taylor 2002; Widrow 2002; Govoni & Feretti 2004).”
