A Taxonomy of Extended Radio Sources in Clusters of Galaxies
2003
At the request of the conference attendees, we have compiled a classification of extended radio sources in clusters. These range from scales of tens of parsecs to over a megaparsec in scale, and include both sources associated with AGN and sources thought to derive from the electron population in the ionized ICM. We pay special attention to distinguishing between the types of AGN in the cores of cooling flow clusters and between the multiple classes of objects referred to over the years as ``radio relics.'' We suggest new names based on physical arguments for some of these classes of objects where their commonly used names are inappropriate or confusing.
