A New Window on the Radio Emission from Galaxies, Clusters and Cosmic Web: Current Status and New Perspectives

The current radio astronomical interferometers, such as, for instance, LOFAR, ASKAP, MeerKAT, JVLA, uGMRT, and MWA, which are paving the way to the SKA, are providing breathtaking advances in our view of radio galaxies, galaxy clusters, and cosmic web.

The image quality and fidelity of the present observational facilities, as well as the state-of-the-art numerical simulations are unveiling unexpected details, which are challenging our knowledge.

It is timely to review our current understanding and open questions of the radio galaxy phenomenon, the relation between radio galaxies and the surrounding environment, and of the origin of diffuse emission in galaxy clusters and beyond.

The aim of this meeting is to review our knowledge in this field of research, present the new challenges we are facing and discuss scientific prospects over the next decade, in the light of the capabilities of the SKA. We encourage submissions related to the following topics:

- Peculiar radio emission associated to radio galaxies in different environments;
- New and/or new features and properties of diffuse radio sources in galaxy clusters;
- Non-thermal component outside galaxy clusters.

A related special issue: A New Window on the Radio Emission from Galaxies, Galaxy Clusters and Cosmic Web: Current Status and Perspectives. The publishing fee of all publications in this special issue is waived.
