We detect a new suspected giant radio galaxy (GRG) discovered by KAT-7. The GRG core is identified with the WISE source J013313.50-130330.5, an extragalactic source based on its infrared colors and consistent with a misaligned AGN-type…

We present the results of a program to monitor the structure of the radio emission in 42 $\gamma$-ray bright blazars (31 quasars and 11 BL Lac objects) with the VLBA at 43, 22, and occasionally 15 and 8.4 GHz, over the period from November…

We present a detailed study of the Faraday depth structure of four bright (> 1 Jy), strongly polarized, unresolved, radio-loud quasars. The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) was used to observe these sources with 2 GHz of…

We have selected a field from the VLA FIRST Survey which is typical in all aspects except one: it contains a bright, but extremely compact VLBI calibrator - J1159+291. 127 unresolved FIRST sources with $S_{FIRST}\ge 10$ mJy lie within…

Over the past two decades, our knowledge of the high-redshift (z > 5) radio quasars has expanded, thanks to dedicated high-resolution very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations. Distant quasars provide unique information about…

We present results from 1.4 and 5 GHz observations at matched resolution with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) of 11 powerful 3C FR II quasars. We examine the 11 quasars along with a sample of 13 narrow-line FR II radio galaxies…

We present high-sensitivity 1.51 GHz e-MERLIN radio images of the nearby galaxy NGC 6217. We resolve the compact radio source at the centre of NGC 6217 for the first time, finding a twin-lobed structure with a total linear size of ~4 arcsec…

A significant fraction of compact radio-loud quasars display most of the characteristics of relativistically beamed, high-optical polarization blazars, yet are weakly polarized in the optical regime. We have used the VLBA at 22 and 43 GHz…
