Aims. Narrow-angle tailed (NAT) sources in clusters of galaxies can show on the large scale very narrow tails that are unresolved even at arcsecond resolution. These sources could therefore be classified as one-sided jets. The aim of this…

We report on an effort to study the connections between dynamics in simulated radio galaxy plasma flows and the properties of nonthermal electron populations carried in those flows. To do this we have introduced a new numerical scheme for…

We present deep JVLA observations at 1.4 GHz and 2.7 GHz (full polarization), as well as optical OmegaWINGS/WINGS and X-ray observations of two extended radio galaxies in the IIZW108 galaxy cluster at z = 0.04889. They show a bent tail…

The unique morphology of head-tail (HT) radio galaxies suggests that radio jets and their intra-cluster medium interact strongly. We conducted a systematic search for HT radio galaxies using the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey first data release…
