Abstract

We have observed a sample of 13 large, powerful Fanaroff-Riley type II radio galaxies with the Very Large Array in multiple configurations and at multiple frequencies. We have combined our measurements of spectral indices, rotation measures and structural parameters such as arm-length ratios, axial ratios and misalignment angles, with similar data from the literature and revisited some well-known radio galaxy correlations.
