We have made a comparison of the X-ray and radio morphologies for a sa
mple of 41 rich cluster fields using Einstein Observatory IPC and VLA
20 cm images. Surprisingly, we find that 75% of the radio galaxies hav
e a statistically significant X-ray peak or subclump within 5' of the
radio galaxy position. The X-ray luminosity and the generally extended
nature of the X-ray subclumps suggest that these subclumps are overde
nse regions emitting free-free radiation, although there is also evide
nce for AGN X-ray emission coming from some of the more compact, high
surface brightness X-ray peaks. Some interesting correlations with rad
io morphology were also discovered. For clusters which contain wide-an
gle-tailed radio sources associated with centrally dominant galaxies,
there are significant elongations or clumps in the central X-ray emiss
ion which are unusual for this type of cluster- We suggest that cluste
r radio galaxies are pointers to particular clusters or regions within
clusters that have recently undergone mergers between cluster subsyst
ems.
