Scientific paper

The clusters A548b and A1664 are peculiar in the radio domain because of the presence of radio relics. According to theoretical models, the radio relics are energized by cluster merger shocks. With this proposal we wish to investigate the cluster X-ray properties, the status of the intracluster medium, the presence of shocks, filaments or cold fronts, in order to analyze the energy transfer between the thermal gas and the radio emitting particles. The study of the connection between the X-ray and radio emission will be crucial to understand the formation of relics, and more generally of the non-thermal components in clusters, and their relation to the cluster dynamics.
