We present a study on rotation measure (RM) of the quasar 3C 273. This analysis aims to discern the magnetic field structure and its temporal evolution. The quasar 3C 273 is one of the most studied active galactic nuclei due to its high…

The total and polarized radio continuum emission of IC 342 was observed in four wavelength bands with the Effelsberg and VLA telescopes. The frequency dependence of the radial scalelength of synchrotron emission indicates energy-dependent…

We present near-infrared images of NGC 4314 in the $J$,$H$, and $K$ bands. Colors in these bands are constant across the bar of NGC 4314 indicating that the mass-to-light ratio is constant over much of the galaxy. We have developed an…

We present RadioAstron space-based very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of the nearby radio galaxy 3C84 (NGC1275) at the centre of the Perseus cluster. The observations were carried out on September 21-22, 2013 and involved…

We report multi-frequency VLBI studies of the sub-parsec scale structure of the two-sided jet in the nearby radio galaxy NGC 4261. Our analyses include new observations using the Source Frequency Phase Referencing technique with the Very…

We report the first detection of linearly polarized emission at an observing wavelength of 350 $\mu$m from the radio-loud Active Galactic Nucleus 3C 279. We conducted polarization observations for 3C 279 using the SHARP polarimeter in the…

We present the analysis of VLA and VLBA observations of the radio source 3C 338, associated with the cD galaxy NGC 6166, the central dominant galaxy of the cluster Abell 2199. The VLBA observations were done at 8.4 and 15.4 GHz, while the…

Outflows accelerated by AGN are commonly observed in the form of coherent, mildly collimated high-velocity gas directed along the AGN ionisation cones and kinetically powerful (>$10^{44-45}$ erg/s) jets. Recent works found that outflows can…

The structure of AGN accretion disks on sub-parsec scales can be probed through free-free absorption of synchrotron emission from the base of symmetric radio jets. We present new VLBA observations of the nearby FR-I radio galaxy NGC 4261 at…

We investigate the variations of the magnetic field, Doppler factor, and relativistic particle density along the jet of a quasar at z=0.72. We chose 4C 19.44 for this study because of its length and straight morphology. The 18 arcsec length…

We present a spatially-resolved study of the ionised gas in the central 2 kpc of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110 and investigate the role of its moderate luminosity radio jet (kinetic radio power of $P_\mathrm{jet} = 2.3 \times…

Radio relics, arc-like polarized sources with highly aligned magnetic fields, are typically found on the outskirts of merging galaxy clusters. The magneto-ionic media responsible for the significant coherence observed in radio relics remain…
