I had a fantastic time at Tracing Cosmic Evolution with Galaxy Clusters V in Sesto, Italy last week! It was really great to connect with others (previous and new colleagues) who are excited about and working in the field of galaxy clusters 🌌

We find that the merging cluster environment has a statistically significant, higher population proportion of disturbed (bent and head tail) radio sources. This work was done with collaborators @yjangordon.bsky.social, Jonathon Pierce, Martin Hardcastle, Lawrence Bilton, and Ian Roberts.

Using @zooniverse.bsky.social, we explored whether there was a difference in the populations of various radio-AGN morphology types (compact, extended, FRI/II, bent and head tail) between merging and relaxed clusters using LoTSS 144 MHz data.
