Abstract

Radio halos are large amorphous regions of radio emitting plasma with sizes of order 1 Mpc (throughout, H 0 = 50 km s-1 Mpc -1) located in extremely rich clusters (for reviews, see Jaffe 1992; Feretti & Giovannini 1995). These sources are rare; only 10 or so are known. Despite the fact that all of these examples were discovered more than 10 or 20 years ago, their nature is still a mystery and a number of basic questions have not yet been answered satisfactorily.
