Scientific paper

Wide-angle tail radio galaxies (WATs) are objects with distinctive radio properties which lie at the centres of rich clusters, and may trace cluster mergers. We are proposing to observe a small, representative sample of WATs in order to answer a number of fundamental questions on these objects. With the Chandra data we will: map out the distribution of the hot gas around 4 WATs, measure the spectral properties of the media, and uncover fine structure in the hot gas due to the motion of the galaxies and/or cluster mergers. This investigation will enable us to resolve some outstanding puzzles: what disrupts (terminates and bents) the jets in WATs? do they reside within cooling flows? are their host clusters are merger remnants?
