AbstractWe are conducting a large survey of distant clusters of galaxies using radio sources with bent jets and lobes as tracers. These radio sources are driven by AGN and achieve their bent morphologies through interaction with the surrounding gas found in clusters of galaxies. Based on low-redshift studies, these types of sources can be used to identify clusters very efficiently. We present initial results from our survey of 653 bent-double radio sources with optical hosts too faint to appear in the SDSS. The sample was observed in the infrared with Spitzer, and it has revealed ~200 distant clusters or proto-clusters in the redshift range z ~ 0.7 - 3.0. The sample of bent-doubles contains both quasars and radio galaxies enabling us to study both radiative and kinetic mode feedback in cluster and group environments at a wide range of redshifts.

Diffuse radio sources in clusters remain a poorly understood phenomenon. They are very extended sources (0.4-0.6 Mpc), of low surface brightness and steep spectrum, which cannot be identified with any active radio galaxy. They are a rare phenomenon, as they have been found so far in few clusters of galaxies. This paper reviews the current findings about this kind of sources, and the suggestions about their formation and evolution.

The existence of ‘haloes’ in clusters of galaxies was deduced by Ryle and Windram (1968) for the Perseus cluster and by Willson (1970) for the Coma cluster at 408 MHz by comparing total flux measured by a single dish with the sum of fluxes of radio sources found in the field. A direct measurement of the extended source Coma C was made by Jaffe et al. (1976) at 610 MHz. the failure to detect the halo of Coma at higher frequencies is attributed by all authors to a steep spectrum of this extended component.

The density of intergalactic gas may be an important parameter in the formation of extended radio sources. It may range from ∼ 0.1 particle cm−3 in the centres of some rich clusters of galaxies down to 10−8cm−3 or less in intercluster space. The possible influence of the intracluster gas surrounding NGC 1275 on its radio emission is discussed, and the possibility that a significant fraction of the X-ray background is due to a hot intergalactic medium is explored in some detail.

We have begun VLA observations of straight-angle tailed radio sources (SATs) at 1.5 and 4.8 GHz (L and C band) to achieve one arcsecond resolution at each frequency. This will provide a SAT data set similar to the O'Donoghue, Owen, and Eilek (1990) WAT data set with both total intensity and spectral index information. We will use these data to examine morphological and dynamical properties of straight-tailed radio sources in clusters of galaxies.
