Scientific paper

Here we analyze the inverse-Compton (IC) emission of ultrarelativistic electrons present within the intracluster medium (ICM), taking into account however not only the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation as the seed photon population for the IC scatterings, but also other lower-energy photon fields such as Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) in the infrared-to-optical range, near-infrared and optical emission of the cD host galaxy, or the soft X-ray emission of the cluster gas. We show that all these additional populations of the target photons play an important role in shaping the high-energy emission of clusters, which can be probed in hard X-rays and gamma-rays by present and future instruments such as Swift/BAT, Suzaku or Fermi/LAT.
