Scientific paper

Due to their frequent association with galaxy clusters and their connection to ICM ram pressure, wide angle tail (WAT) radio sources have proven to be reliable tracers of high-density environments, as well as indicators of cluster dynamical activity. In an effort to perform a coherent study of the X-ray properties of WAT clusters, we have assembled a sample of 10 WAT systems from within the Chandra archive. We find that the clusters display both merger signatures and evidence of cool/high-Z gas near the WAT host galaxy, suggesting a possible relation between WAT formation and perturbed cool cores. To understand WAT-hosting systems with respect to general cluster properties, we compare the results with those of an identical analysis of an archival sample of WAT-less CC and NCC clusters.
