Head-tail radio sources in the cluster of galaxies Abell 1314

Abstract

A high resolution study of the cluster of galaxies Abell 1314 has revealed two ‘head-tail’ radio sources, associated with the galaxies IC708 and IC711. The tail of IC711 extends fully 820 kpc. The source properties are described and discussed in terms of the ‘radio trail’ model.
