“…To answer (i), observationally the transverse velocity profile of the radio jets can give clues to understand which of these two processes is more relevant; if former, no velocity profile across the jet is expected, whereas in latter case, there would be a velocity profile with slower layers at the jet boundaries (Laing & Bridle, 2002). Next to answer (ii), comparisons between the radio morphologies of tailed sources in cluster environments and the distribution of the thermal gas as seen in Chandra and XMM-Newton images, indicate that the thermal gas is almost always asymmetric and aligned towards the direction of the bending (Venkatesan et al, 1994), and many a times these clusters are undergoing mergers, resulting in large-scale flows of hot gas owing to the changing gravitational potential (Klamer, Subrahmanyan & Hunstead, 2004).…”
