Using head-tail galaxies to constrain the intracluster magnetic field: an in-depth study of PKS J0334-3900 [PDF]
, 2013 We present a multi-wavelength study of the radio galaxy PKS J0334-3900 at the centre of Abell 3135. The spectro-polarimetric radio observations are combined with spectroscopic optical and X-ray data to illustrate the use of Head-Tail radio galaxies to ...
