Scientific paper

We propose high-resolution Chandra observations of the filamentary radio relics in the clusters A13 and A4038. We will determine the origin of these sources. They might be cluster merger radio relics due to particle acceleration at merger shocks. Alternatively, they might `radio bubbles', radio lobes from the central radio galaxy displaced by buoyancy or motions in the cluster core. We will determine the dynamics of the cluster and locate any merger shocks or cold fronts. We will constrain the efficiency of particle acceleration if the relics are due to merger shocks. The relics are predicted to have filamentary inverse Compton X-ray emission which will be imaged with Chandra. We will determine or limit the intracluster magnetic field and the energy density in relativistic particles.
