Abstract

We present low frequency radio polarimetric observations of the Perseus cluster. The data were taken with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) between 315–360 MHz. We have discovered faint, extended, highly polarized emission that we associate with the Perseus cluster (de Bruyn & Brentjens 2005). We propose that at least one of these structures is associated with large‐scale structure formation gas inflow from the Perseus‐Pisces supercluster. The extragalactic emission is seen through a polarized Galactic synchrotron foreground screen. The discovery was made possible by a novel rotation measure analysis technique, called Faraday Rotation Measure Synthesis, or RM‐synthesis for short (Brentjens & de Bruyn 2005).

## Abstract We present the first map of the Perseus Cluster obtained within the Toruń Polarimetric Survey (ToPoS). The maps indicate that there is a large scale polarized radiation located at the periphery of classic radius of this cluster. It seems that an investigation of the magnetic structures

## Abstract NGC 1275, the central galaxy of the Perseus cluster, contains a remarkable cool ISM. This gas is arrayed in a series of filaments extending over 30 kpc with an extension of 70 kpc to the north. These emit substantial cooling line radiation from HII, a hot H~2~ zone, and CO in a cool mol
