Since the evolution of the relativistic electrons is tracked in this , we can also have an idea of the ageing (via radiative losses) and re-energisation (by getting energy from the surrounding cluster weather, via Fermi I/II acceleration) the electrons are subject too.

This cause variations in their emission spectra [I(ν)~ν^(-α)] where α typically starts with 0.6, and then "steepens" to 2, meaning that most of high energy particles have lost their energy.
