Scientific paper

Wide-angle tail radio galaxies (WATs) have distinctive radio properties and are within rich clusters. Most importantly, our recent work has provided evidence that their relativistic small-scale jets disrupt and decelerate significantly at the ISM/ICM interface. We now propose observations of a small sample of WAT clusters to test this. With these data we will: locate the position of the interface, measure the properties of the medium on either side, and uncover fine structure in the hot gas due to the motion of the galaxies and/or cluster mergers. This investigation will enable us to resolve some outstanding puzzles: what disrupts (terminates and bends) their jets? Are they within cooling flows? Are their clusters merger remnants?
