Scientific paper

Using radio sources from the FIRST survey, and optical counterparts in the SDSS, we have identified a large number of galaxy clusters. These radio sources are driven by AGN, and our cluster sample includes objects with bent, and straight, double-lobed sources. We also included a single-component comparison sample. We examine these galaxy clusters for evidence of optical substructure, testing the possibility that bent sources are formed in large-scale mergers. We use a suite of substructure analysis tools to determine the location and extent of substructure visible in the optical distribution of cluster galaxies. We also examine the X-ray structure of sources with available Chandra observations for additional evidence of substructure and as a comparison to our optical tests.
