The formation mechanisms of these radio galaxies are a matter of considerable debate in the literature. Using a GMRT study of 12 X-shaped sources, Lal & Rao (2007) showed that the spectral characteristics of these sources, seem to challenge the currently accepted models for their formation. Therefore, the spectral studies of X-shaped sources is extremely important and wide-bandwidth of upgraded GMRT would play an important role to investigate this. We would present our first results for several of the X-shaped sources using the wide bands of the upgraded GMRT. |
