→ Abell 2069 is a two-halo system Diffuse radio emission in the Corona Borealis supercluster field

– radio relic more extended at low frequencies – peculiar radio halo with embedded ultra-steep spectrum source

– peculiar two-halo system – ultra-steep spectrum „radio mini-halo“ in a low mass environment – radio halo structure recovered for the first time
