The goal of the present study is to extend our current knowledge of the diffuse radio source (halo and relic) populations to $z$ $>$ 0.3. Here we report GMRT and EVLA radio observations of six galaxy clusters taken from the MAssive Cluster…

We present deep L-Band observations of the equatorial field centered on the z=6.3 SDSS QSO, reaching a 1 sigma sensitivity of ~2.5 uJy at the center of the field. We extracted a catalog of 1489 radio sources down to a flux density of ~12.5…

Radio galaxies with a projected linear size > 1 Mpc are classified as giant radio sources. According to the current interpretation these are old sources which have evolved in a low-density ambient medium. Since radiative losses are…

The time evolution of giant lobe-dominated radio galaxies (with projected linear size D>1 Mpc if H_{0}=50 km/s/Mpc and q_{0}=0.5 is analysed on the basis of dynamical evolution of the entire FRII-type population. Two basic physical…

Radio relics are diffuse synchrotron sources in galaxy clusters that are believed to trace large-scale shock waves. We have discovered a new double radio relic system in PSZ1 G096.89+24.17 (z=0.3) and have carried out a full-polarization…

We report the discovery and investigate the nature of J1248+4826, an ORC-like source identified in the LOFAR Survey. We analyze its radio morphology, size, luminosity, and spectral properties, and study its environment and optical…

Some merging galaxy clusters host diffuse elongated radio sources, also called radio relics. It is proposed that these radio relics trace shock waves in the intracluster medium created during a cluster merger event. Within the shock waves…

Triple-double radio galaxies (TDRGs) are amongst the rarest subpopulations of radio galaxies (RGs). They are characterised by three pairs of radio lobes, where each pair of lobes represents an episode of nuclear activity. Such a feature…

We have formed a new sample which consists of extended extragalactic radio sources without obvious active galactic nuclei (AGN) in them. Most of these sources appear to be dead double radio sources. These sources with steep spectra ($\alpha…

Giant radio galaxies (GRG) are radio galaxies with physical sizes of their radio emission larger than 0.7 Mpc. Recently, the sample of GRGs has become large enough to study the extreme end of the GRG size distribution. We examine the…

A radio source of the Fanaroff--Riley type II with the angular size of 11.3 arc min is identified with an optical galaxy at z=0.229. Thus, the projected linear extent of the radio structure is 3.14 Mpc which makes it the third largest…

The appearance of the jets and lobes of some radio galaxies makes it difficult to assign them to a known class of objects. This is often due to the activity of the central engine and/or interactions with the environment, as well as…
