Wide-angle tail galaxies in ATLAS
arXiv:1005.3649 · doi:10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16853.x
Abstract
We present radio images of a sample of six Wide-Angle Tail (WAT) radio sources identified in the ATLAS 1.4 GHz radio survey, and new spectroscopic redshifts for four of these sources. These WATs are in the redshift range of 0.1469 - 0.3762, and we find evidence of galaxy overdensities in the vicinity of four of the WATs from either spectroscopic or photometric redshifts. We also present follow-up spectroscopic observations of the area surrounding the largest WAT, S1189, which is at a redshift of ~0.22. The spectroscopic observations, taken using the AAOmega spectrograph on the AAT, show an overdensity of galaxies at this redshift. The galaxies are spread over an unusually large area of ~12 Mpc with a velocity spread of ~4500 km/s. This large-scale structure includes a highly asymmetric FRI radio galaxy and also appears to host a radio relic. It may represent an unrelaxed system with different sub-structures interacting or merging with one another. We discuss the implications of these observations for future large-scale radio surveys.
