Scientific paper

Wide angle tailed radio galaxies (WATs) contain small kpc-scale jets that flare suddenly. The reason for this flaring is not understood, but previous Chandra observations suggest that it is due to the ISM/ICM interface. Here we propose observations of WATs with bent jets. Recent work suggests that high galaxy speeds are needed to bend the jets. If this is the case, then the ISM should be stripped, and jet flaring should not coincide with the interface. We intend to ascertain the presence of the ISM in bent WAT host galaxies, to determine if the interface is responsible for the jet flaring. This will enable a better understanding of the physics of AGN jets.
