Radio imaging of head-tailed galaxies from an in-falling filament of the Horologium-Reticulum supercluster
Abstract
We present a multi-wavelength study of a pair of head-tailed radio galaxies in an in-falling filament of the A3125/A3128 cluster complex which is located at the centre of the massive Horologium Reticulum Supercluster (HRS). We compare the large-scale structure evident from extensive optical observations of the region with the dynamical information gleaned from the morphology of the radio jets. We argue that in addition to the acceleration produced by in-fall toward the centre of A3125, the closest galaxy cluster, the radio jets show some evidence of bulk motion along the major filament of the HRS.
