Scientific paper

We propose to observe three clusters of galaxies with radio halos : A3667, A2319 and A2255. In the first cluster the extended radio source is located well outside of the central core, while it is at the cluster center in the other two clusters. According to a recent hypothesis, the formation of the radio halos may be attributable to suitable cluster-subcluster merger events and to the presence of tailed radio galaxies as sources of relativistic electrons. The AXAF observatory has the capability to identify the observational signatures of recent merger activity in clusters of galaxies. So, the proposed observations will be crucial in studying the hyphothesis that recent merger events and the formation of Mpc-scale radio halos in rich clusters are linked each other.
