Abstract (from CDS):

We present a low-frequency imaging study of an extended sample of X-shaped radio sources using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) at two frequencies (610 and 240 MHz). The sources were drawn from a Very Large Array Radio Images of the Sky at Twenty-Centimeters (FIRST) selected sample and extend an initial GMRT study at the same frequencies of 12 X-shaped radio galaxies predominantly from the 3CR catalog (Lal & Rao 2007). Both the intensity maps and spectral index maps of the 16 newly observed sources are presented. With the combined sample of 28 X-shaped radio sources, we found no systematic differences in the spectral properties of the higher surface brightness, active lobes versus the lower surface brightness, or off-axis emission. The properties of the combined sample are discussed, including the possible role of a twin active galactic nuclei model in the formation of such objects.
