Francesca Loi (UNIBO), "Shocks and non-thermal phenomena in merging galaxy clusters"

Numerical simulations offer the unique possibility to forecast the results of surveys and targeted observations that will be performed with the next generation instruments like the Square Kilometre Array. In this talk, I will present 1.4 GHz simulated full-Stokes images of the extragalactic radio sky obtained by modelling various discrete radio populations. From these images I evaluated the confusion limit in I, U, and Q Stokes parameters, giving analytical formulas of their behaviour as a function of the angular resolution. These formulas can be used as additional input information to maximize the impact of the next generation radio telescopes.
