We present results from the Chandra and XMM observations of Abell 13. This galaxy cluster contains an unusual noncentral radio source, also known as a radio relic. We present a comparison of the properties of the hot X-ray gas with those of the radio relic from VLA data, to study the interaction of the X-ray gas with the radio emitting electrons. Initial results suggest that the radio relic is associated with cooler gas in the cluster. We also present results on structure and temperature distributions of the gas in the cluster, which suggest that a recent galaxy or group merger has occurred in the cluster. From the X-ray data, we suggest that the relic was displaced from the central galaxy during the merger event.
