Scientific paper
An investigation was conducted of factors which may determine the morphology of complex cluster sources, in particular those sources classified as 'bent-doubles', '3C31-type sources', 'twin-tails', and 'head-tails'. One of the aims of the investigation was the study of 3C31-type sources and heat-tail sources on the basis of a comparison of their properties with those of other classes of source. It was found that head-tails are probably not 3C31-type sources, but rather twin-tails which are too distant, acute-angled or affected by projection effects, to be resolved as such. The bent-doubles appear to be more luminous than other complex cluster radio sources. They are associated with dominant (and therefore presumably slow-moving) galaxies. The 3C31-type sources are slightly less luminous and are also associated with dominant cluster galaxies.
