Extended Radio Sources in the Cluster Environment.
Abstract
Extended radio galaxies which lie in rich and poor clusters were studied through observations with the NRAO 300 ft single dish telescope, the Green Bank interferometer and the VLA. Detailed total intensity and polarization observations for a more restricted sample of two classical double sources and nine head-tail galaxies were also performed with the NRAO interferometer. The rich and poor radio cluster samples are combined to investigate the relationship between source morphology and the scale sizes of clustering. Potentially fruitful areas of future cluster research of X-ray, optical, and radio frequencies are discussed. In particular, the probability of detecting poorer clusters with future X-ray satellites is addressed.
